Marysville Memo
MARCH 5, 2024
Hello Marysville PS Families,
We hope this message finds you all in good health and in high spirits as we head in to March.
With the recent spring-like temperatures, we continue to encourage students to dress for the weather as outdoor recess can still be chilly and wet. Please wear appropriate outdoor wear and a bring a change of clothes if possible, especially pants and socks.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our work at Marysville and for entrusting us with the education and growth of your children. We know that public education is a team effort between schools and families, and that a strong partnership helps children learn and grow. Please connect with your child's teachers ,or the office, if you have any questions.
Your partners in education,
Mrs. MacDonald, Mrs. Barrett and the Marysville PS Team :)

CALLING ALL 3 and 4-YEAR-OLDS!
Welcome to Kindergarten in Limestone. This is a very exciting time for both you and your student. Kindergarten offers a wonderful new world of learning and growing. We learn how to read, how to write and we make new friends. Your student will be challenged and encouraged to do their very best. Kindergarten is a wonderful experience and your student’s next phase on their journey of learning. If your student was born in 2020, you may register now so they can begin school this September.
SOLAR ECLIPSE
On April 8, 2024, the southern portions of Limestone are in the pathway of a total solar eclipse. This is a very rare and exciting solar event which will result in complete darkness for a few minutes around 3:20 p.m. that day. Given many students will be in transit at that time, the timing of the eclipse is not ideal from a supervision perspective to ensure student eye safety. In consultation with our co-terminus school boards, Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board, as well as Tri-Board Transportation we proposed moving the PA Day scheduled for Friday, April 12, 2024, to Monday, April 8, 2024. This would ensure only a one-day impact for families during that week.
This amendment has been approved by all three school boards as well as the Ministry of Education. As such, April’s PA Day will now occur on Monday, April 8, 2024. This change does not add an additional PA Day for the school year, but simply adjusts the date of the April PA Day.
Friday, April 12 will now be a regular school day.
A total solar eclipse is a unique and spectacular occurrence. A similar event has not occurred in this region for nearly 700 years, and another one will not occur again for another 375 years. As a result, leading up to the event, we will provide learning opportunities for students to maximize their safety and enjoyment.

Reporting A Student's Absence:
If your student is marked absent and the absence hasn’t been reported in advance, our new SafeArrival system will attempt to reach the student’s priority contact by telephone to confirm the absence. If our system is unable to reach the designated contacts, school office staff will follow up.
