MS Remembrance Day Outing and Library Visit
2025-11-11
Tomorrow the Middle School community will be travelling downtown to George's Square to commemorate Remembrance Day. After the ceremony, we will be going out for lunch to The Works. Students are welcome to order from the menu, however, they can also pack their own lunch if they prefer. After lunch, we have decided to take advantage of our time downtown and visit the Oakville Public Library Central Branch in order to get some resources for some assignments that we currently have on the go, such as their Costa Rica research for ISW and their sustainability essays that they are working on for Writer's Workshop.
Students will be wearing their #1s for the ceremony, however, please remind them to dress for the weather (warm jackets and boots), as we will be outside for a good part of the morning. Also, students have been asked to bring their Presto Cards and their Library Cards. If they are purchasing their lunch from The Works, we ask that they pay by debit if possible, and if not, to bring exact change to cover their meal, tax and a tip, as we know most restaurants carry limited cash and often cannot give change to a large group. Please note that there is also a lunch menu that is not included in the link which includes a burger, fries and a drink for $13.99.
At the end of the day, pick up will be at Lakeside Park on Front Street between 3:50pm and 4:10pm. Students should have this information in their agenda.

2025-11-26 15:45 - 17:00
Dear Clanmore Families,
Our Parent Association is excited to welcome you to our annual Winter Wonderland event tomorrow, Wednesday, November 26th from dismissal to 5pm.
The end-of-day routine will look a little different, so please take note of the following:

DISMISSAL
All students will be dismissed from indoors, as we would on a rainy day. Please use your child’s usual arrival/dismissal door.
If you are joining us at Winter Wonderland:

Please find parking (details below) and walk to your child’s designated door.
Your child will be dismissed directly into your care, after which you may head to the Clanmore yard for the festivities.
Please note that once you have your child, supervision becomes your responsibility while in the yard.

If you are not attending Winter Wonderland:

Please proceed through the regular car pick-up line.
Staff will bring your child to your vehicle as usual.
We kindly ask for extra caution in the parking lot, as there will be more foot traffic than on a typical day. As well as a food truck!

After School Care:

Children in After School programs will remain indoors.
Please pick up from reception.

PARKING
Parking is limited. If you are within walking distance, we strongly encourage walking. A map of safe parking areas is attached.
Please keep the following in mind:

There is a pedestrian pathway from Byron Street to Lakeshore Road for easy access.
The lot behind the school is closed for the season.
On Birkbank Drive, parking is permitted on the west side only.

RSVP
Yesterday was the RSVP deadline, to ensure the food truck is fully stocked.If you missed it, please email parents@clanmore.ca.

WREATHSIf you ordered a wreath or an arrangement, they will be waiting for you at the fence. Grab yours on the way out!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
