Parental/guardian and community involvement in our school is important to us. We encourage parents/guardians to become involved in our parent advisory council (PAC). It's an excellent way to stay in touch with what is happening in your child's school, and to have a voice concerning such things as cultural and extracurricular activities, behaviour management, school budgets and plans, and fundraising activities. Please see our Parent Association link for more information.

Parent and non-parent volunteers can also be important helpers in classrooms or assisting with special events or projects, or coaching. If you're interested in volunteering at our school, please contact us.

The following are a few topics with important information to remember during the school year:

École Neil Campbell School Lunch Program:

Please note: Registrations for the lunch program for the 2025/2026 school year are overdue.
Monthly payments are due on the first of each month.

Please submit your registration forms along with applicable payment as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Registration packages were emailed out on May 5, 2025. If you require a paper copy, please contact the school office to have one sent home with your child. Monthly payments are due on the first of each month.

Please remember to send your child with a water bottle, forks and/or spoons in their lunch kits. The lunch program and the school office do not provide cutlery/cups for students.

When is a child too sick for school?

Sickness is part of a normal childhood—the average child has between six and 12 illnesses a year. It can be challenging to balance your child's attendance with the risk of spreading illness to others at the school. There are three key reasons to keep your child home from school:

• Fever over 38°C (100.4°F)
• Contagious illness or rash
• Not well enough to participate in class

Guidelines

• Fever usually indicates the body is fighting infection. A child with a fever over 38°C (100.4°F) should stay home until the fever is gone for 24 hours.
• Children can attend school with a mild sore throat unless they show additional symptoms, like a fever, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
• A child with a cough need not be kept from school unless it is interfering with sleep or their ability to take part in activities.
• Runny noses and coughs can continue for up to two weeks after a cold. Children can return to school once they no longer have a fever.
• Itchy or scaly rashes may be contagious. If a child with a rash looks ill or is having trouble swallowing or breathing, they should see a doctor.
• Children who are repeatedly vomiting should stay home until it stops and they are eating normally.
• Children with diarrhea should stay home until stools have been normal for at least 24 hours.

Frequent handwashing with soap and water is the most effective way to prevent the spread of contagious diseases.

Weather reminders:

Chilly, snowy weather is here! Please send your child(ren) with weather appropriate outerwear, so they will be prepared no matter what the weather happens to be. Many items look similar, so please make sure all belongings are labelled to avoid confusion or misplaced items.

Mittens, toques, warm jackets, snow pants, and boots will help keep the chill off while students enjoy their time outside. Although we regularly remind students to stay out of the water or melty snow, often socks and pants get wet during recess times. It is a good idea to have an extra set of mittens and clothes (shirt, pants, socks, underwear) in your child’s backpack in case clothing gets wet during the school day. 

For up-to-date weather information during all our seasons, use this link: . You can also find this link on our website in the top right corner, next to the date. 

Absences, leaving early, or arriving late:

If your child(ren) will be absent from school, or you expect them to be late for attendance in the morning (8:55am) or after lunch (12:45pm), please contact the school office at 204-661-2848 anytime between 4:15pm and 8:30am to access a directory with two options. Select "1" to leave a message. You can also email the school at nc@retsd.mb.ca. Our office staff will phone parents of students who do not have an excused absence. 

The end of the school day is a busy time! We make every effort to accommodate plans, but if you will be picking up your child(ren) before regular dismissal time at the end of the day, please call the school office before 3:00pm, to ensure we have enough time to notify your child(ren) and their teacher(s) of the change in plans.

Picking up & dropping of your child(ren):

Please report to the school office to check in and sign our sign-out sheet when you are dropping off or picking up your child(ren). Our office staff will make sure your child(ren) arrive at their classroom safely, and their attendance is marked. To minimize disturbances within the school, please do not walk your child(ren) to class. 

Students who ride the school bus:

Please be sure to regularly check the Stopfinder app for all bussing information. You can learn more about the Stopfinder app and bussing transportation on the 糖心破解版 website under Transportation, or by clicking this link: . All bussing notifications will be posted at the top of the 糖心破解版 website; you can click the “learn more” button on the right side of the website to see the details.

Parking:

Please do not park or stop in the restricted parking zones around our school. These restricted zones are for the safety of our students, as well as our larger community. You can report parking/stopping infractions at: . This page shows that “No Stopping” along with other infractions can be enforced with a picture, and drivers can have a ticket mailed out to them without even knowing they have incurred a ticket. Thank you for helping to create a safer environment around our school.

Sending medications to school:

Whenever medication is needed at school, a parent/guardian must sign the Authorization for the Administration of Prescribed Medication to Students form (available at the school office). Non-prescribed, over-the-counter medication will not be administered by school personnel and should not be sent with your child(ren) to school. If your child(ren) needs to take a prescribed medication during school hours, the medication must be delivered to the school office in a container that has a label from the pharmacy which has the dispensing instructions noted on it. Please follow this link on for more information.
