Week at a Glance- Sept. 14 to Sept. 18
Hello Storrington Stingers,
We continue to be amazed by our Stingers and how easily they have transitioned to our new expectations and protocols. All our Stingers are doing an amazing job with wearing their masks, staying physically distanced, and following our handwashing/hand sanitizing routines. We want to thank them for their diligence in keeping themselves and their peers safe and healthy. We are looking forward to another great week and having all our Stingers attending together.
Importance of Daily Screening
A friendly reminder to our parent community around the importance of screening your child every morning, before coming to school for the following Covid-19 related symptoms:
Fever
Chills
New or worsening cough
Barking cough
Shortness of breath
Sore throat
Difficulty swallowing
Runny, stuffy or congested nose
Lost sense of taste or smell
Pink eye
Headache that’s unusual or long-lasting
Digestive issues (nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain)
Muscle Aches
Extreme tiredness
Falling down often
Sluggishness or lack of appetite
If a child displays one or more of these symptoms, the school will be contacting parents to come and pick up their child and to take them to an assessment centre or their health care provider.

Thank You to our Parent Council
On behalf of the staff and students at Storrington, we would like to thank our Storrington Parent Council for purchasing and providing Storrington Stinger fanny packs to all our students. Students can use these fanny packs to store their masks when they go outside for recess or outdoor learning. We are hoping that the fanny packs will be ready within the next couple of weeks and will be distributed to students before the end of September.
Litterless Lunch
In being environmentally friendly and to reduce the amount of garbage in landfills, we ask that all students bring in a litterless lunch to school. As well, in trying to reduce possible contact points between students, we will not be able to continue with our recycling program. In looking for ways to limit our ecological footprint, please discuss with your child all the things that you can do to make their lunch more eco-friendly.
