Greetings!
Last Saturday was an amazing event as PCS had its first float entered into the Ajax parade! I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers who prepared the float and those who walked alongside of it to hand out the gifts. I also want to thank Miss DePass and the drum line team who did an inspiring job on the music end.
We are entered in the Whitby parade on December 3rd, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. There will be refreshments served back at the school for any families who wish to come back after the parade.
As a reminder, these parades, as well as the special assembly on Friday, December 23rd, at 2:15 pm, are the Christmas activities for PCS. There is no evening event this year. Since we have had an evening concert for the past 3 years, we thought we would change things a bit for this year.
I pray the joy of this season will be felt in every household,
Yours in His Service,
P.D. Ogborne, Ed.D.
Pickering Christian School

Pick-Up Reminder
Just a reminder that Grade 7/8 and Arrowsmith students are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. If you arrive early, please park in the parking lot until 3:30 p.m. and then proceed into the driving circle. This gives the parents of students who are dissmissed at 3:15 p.m. a chance to pick-up their children and helps keep the circle moving quickly. You may also park in the front lot and walk through the school to get your children. Please do not walk through the parking lot to the back yard. Remember to drive slowly through the parking lot. Thank you for helping to keep the pick-up procedure efficient and safe.

Children at Parent/Teacher Interviews
If at all possible, please do not bring your children to the parent/teacher interviews. We do not have extra supervison available to watch your children. If you have no other choice, your child can sit quietly outside the classroom while you are in the interview. If your interview is scheduled during the regular "Before and After School Club" hours (3:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.), you may leave your children there, but you will be charged the normal Before and After School Club fee.

Last week we re-launched our website. When you have a moment be sure to take a look. We have updated our calendar so that various events are colour coded and provide more details. We have also added a "quick - button" for parents and visitors. The "Parents" quick - button currently provides you with quick links to forms, past Friday Facts and important articles/news. In the futurre we hope to provide access to online versions of weekly classroom take homes and home work lists to mention just a few ideas. We also have added quick and easy links so that you can add/follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. If you have any questions or some suggestions please feel free to forward them to Mr. David Park at dpark@pickeringcs.on.ca
