February 20, 2026 Principal Message

Good Afternoon, Everyone,

We have a few exciting events for next week!

Pink Shirt Day is on Wednesday, February 25. This day is an important opportunity for us to promote kindness, inclusion, and standing up for one another.

As part of our celebration, we will be creating a special school video to share on our social media channels. Your child may be included in this video, and students will not be identified by name. If you would prefer that your child not appear, please let your child’s teacher know.

If you did not grant media permission on the FOIP form in September, we will ensure your child is kept out of the camera’s frame. Thank you for helping us make our school a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and included.

Earth Rangers will be here on Tuesday afternoon. This is an exciting assembly where we learn about different species of animals that are being protected! We will be lucky enough to even meet a few animals!

Our Grade 4s are off to uSchool next week. This is an exciting opportunity where the Grade 4s will participate in deep learning on the U of A campus all week! We are excited to share their learning with you!

Finally, we hope to meet many new families at our EIPK Open House next Thursday!

Warmly,

Mr. Coffin & Mrs. Kirton

Jump Rope for Heart

Throughout February, our students are jumping into heart health with our Jump Rope for Heart campaign! Each class is taking part in fun activities that promote healthy hearts, strong minds, and active lifestyles. Together, we’re learning about healthy habits, giving back, and helping support life-saving heart and stroke research. Thank you for supporting our Robina Baker community!

Pre-Kindergarten Open House

Thursday, February 26

4 - 6 pm

Do you have a preschooler? Join us to explore two great early learning options located right in our school!

EI Pre-K – Our Early Intervention Pre-K program for children who qualify through screening.

Happy Kids Pre-School – A preschool program located in our school for children who do not require intervention support.

Both programs will be open during our Open House so you can tour the spaces, meet staff, and learn more.

 Secure Your Spot for Kindergarten!

You can now register your child for Kindergarten for next year! Our small class sizes mean spaces fill up quickly — don’t wait to give your child a place in our amazing Kindergarten Programs. Full- and half-day options available.

Order Your 2025-2026 Yearbook

Yearbooks for the 2025–2026 school year are now available to order through PowerSchool. The cost is $28 and includes a 40-page, full-colour keepsake filled with memories from the school year.

Yearbooks are printed early in the Fall and will be sent home with students at that time.

We encourage families to order early so you don’t miss out on this special snapshot of the year!

Library Corner: 

• Lost Books: If you think one of your child’s books is lost, please let me know. The amount gets added to your PowerSchool account where you can pay it. If you find it back and you’ve already paid the amount, it will go as a credit on your account towards other fees. Thanks!
• Book limits for students are as follows:

            Grades PK, K and 1 - 1 book

            Grades 2 and 3 - 2 books

            Grade 4 - 3 books

• Please email me, not your teacher, if you have any questions or concerns about library items.  [email protected]   
•  Amazon Wishlist. We have a wishlist for the library!  If you would like to buy one of these books for the library, please don’t forget to have Amazon send us a gift note with your name on it.  I like to acknowledge the person who purchased the book.  Thanks!
• Happy Reading!

Club Moo Program

A big thank you to all the parents who have ordered milk tickets for our Club Moo program! 🥛

Leadership students will be helping by fulfilling and delivering milk orders to each class (Kindergarten to Grade 4) at lunchtime every day.

Parents can purchase milk tickets through PowerSchool: 20 tickets (white or chocolate) for $20.

We hope to provide a 3-day turnaround. Thank you for your patience as we develop our Club Moo Program

How to use your tickets:

• Send them all at once – Cut the tickets apart and return them in a baggie or envelope. They will be kept in your child’s reading bag, and your child can decide when to use them.
• Send them as needed – Place one ticket in your child’s reading bag on the days you’d like them to have milk.
