All students will be going skating at various times this winter as part of their physical education classes. Our first week of skating kicks off on December 15th and runs through until the 19th - the schedule is available on our website at www.rbes.ca/calendar. We will also be sending home a schedule for you. Future schedules will be sent out prior to the week of skating.
The required permission form is now available to all parents and can be completed online and submitted by Friday, December 12th.
To complete the permission form go to: https://powerschool.

We need volunteer help!
Every class requires 3 volunteers to help supervise and tie skates. All volunteers are also welcome to skate with the class. If you can help, please contact your child’s teacher.
In this activity, as with any other physical activity, there is an element of risk. Safety Guidelines for Physical Activity in Alberta Schools outlines that in order to provide the safest possible conditions in which to skate, it is important to know:
1. CSA approved hockey helmets provide the best possible protection and no children will be allowed on the ice surface without a helmet.
2. Parents should have skates checked for proper fit before children go skating.
3. Children should have mitts or gloves, coats and waterproof pants or ski pants.
4. Skates need to be transported in a cloth bag for the protection of the child as well as his/her classmates.
5. There may be some skates available in our “extra” skate box.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.
