Dalhousie is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair from April 11-14. The Scholastic Book Fair is a fantastic way to continue to give our students access to the books they want to read. We are so happy that our students can interact with the fair at our school, and choose their next favourite book! All purchases benefit our school and earn rewards that can be redeemed for books and education resources for our classrooms and school library. Students will be coming home with flyers soon so that they are able to preview what titles will be available. They will also be allowed an in person preview from April 5-7 to finalize wish lists. We will be accepting cash for our in-school fair, and all taxes are included in the listed price. We ask that you go through the preview with your child and where possible, if they are purchasing at school during the day, to send them with exact change.
For parents, family, and friends who wish to purchase online, you will be able to shop our Virtual Book Fair, and select the books that inspire your readers from the comfort of home. The virtual book fair will be open from April 7-19. If you prefer to shop virtually, please visit our school’s Virtual Book Fair Extension. The Virtual Fair will be open 24 hours, beginning at midnight on our start date. There are also no shipping fees on virtual orders! Orders are sent directly to our school.
In addition, we would like to welcome Dalhousie families into the school, assuming restrictions remain lifted. On Wednesday, April 13 from 5pm – 7pm, Dalhousie will have an Open House where families can come into the school to meet their child’s teacher in person, see the classroom, the music room and other areas of the school. They gym will not be available for viewing as it will be in use by the Dalhousie Out of School Care program. You will also be able to visit and purchase from the book fair in person. As this is an Open House, any questions you have about your child’s learning should be asked of your child’s teacher at a another mutually convenient time that has been arranged. You will need to sign the sign in book at the front as well as confirm that you have passed the Daily Health Checklist. Your child should be under your supervision at all times. As the parking lot will be full, please park appropriately around the school being considerate of our neighbours as well as any parking restrictions. For the evening Book Fair event, cash and credit will be accepted.
As there is a School Council/Parent Society meeting scheduled that evening, it will be a drop in event held in conjunction with the Open House where you can get information and offer to volunteer on all of the amazing initiatives spearheaded by the Dalhousie Parent Society. No formal meeting will be held.
