As we head into our final week before the holiday break, our school is buzzing with excitement, connection, and community spirit. This week we will be celebrating Spirit Week, a fun way for students and staff to come together and enjoy these last days of learning before the holidays. We invite everyone to join in each day: 80s Day on Monday, Triplets Day on Tuesday, Waikiki Beach Day on Wednesday, Dress Like a Teacher on Thursday, and Pyjama Day on Friday. Participation is always optional, but the joy and laughter these days bring truly add to the magic of the season.
TRS Holiday Giving
We are still a little shy of our goal of $3000.
Thank you to the many families who have already contributed to our Terrace Road School Holiday Giving Initiative. Your generosity is already making an impact, and we are deeply grateful for the kindness and care you continue to show our school community.
As we move further into this season of giving, we invite all families who are able to support the initiative by donating gift cards—from $10 to $100—from Wal-Mart, Superstore, Sobeys, or Safeway. These donations provide meaningful and flexible support for TRS families who may need an extra hand during the holidays. Gift cards can be dropped off at the school office at any point during the school day.
Our goal this year is to raise $3,000, and with the continued strength and compassion of our TRS community, we are confident we can get there together. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make the season brighter for families in our school.
Thank you once again for your generosity and for embodying the spirit of community that makes Terrace Road such a special place.
New Kindergarten Registration – Opens January 12

Winter Weather Preparedness
As colder weather sets in, we want to ensure that all students remain safe, warm, and ready to learn throughout the school day. Please ensure your child arrives at school each day dressed appropriately for winter conditions, including snow pants, mittens, a toque, and warm winter boots, especially for outdoor recess and physical activity.
We also request that every student keep a pair of indoor shoes at school. This helps maintain dry, safe hallways and ensures students are comfortable in their classrooms after coming in from the snow.
Thank you for supporting a safe and healthy winter season at Terrace Road School.
School Zone Safety
With winter upon us and daylight hours changing, it is particularly important that we work together to maintain safety in our school zone. Our student patrols are active each morning and afternoon, assisting families at the designated crosswalks. Please remind your children to follow their guidance and wait for the patrols’ signal before crossing.
We ask all families to support a safer school environment by observing posted speed limits, avoiding jaywalking, and always using marked crosswalks—even if it requires a few extra steps. Modeling these safe habits reinforces important safety lessons for our students.
Finally, we encourage families to discuss the importance of being alert when crossing the street. Looking both ways, pausing before stepping off the curb, and minimizing distractions such as headphones or phones can make a meaningful difference.
Thank you for helping ensure the safety of all members of our Terrace Road community.
In Conclusion
As the holiday break approaches, we would like to wish all of our families a peaceful, restful, and joyful holiday season. May this time be filled with moments of connection, reflection, and renewal. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year refreshed and ready for the exciting learning ahead.
