Our Christmas concerts will take place on the 2nd floor in the Flex Space.  We are hoping that this will allow for better acoustics and a more comfortable space than the gymnasium.  The format is intended to be 5 "mini-concerts" that allow families (and extended family) to have the opportunity to see their child's class performance in a 20 minute time slot.  The bullets below help outline the process for the evenings and hopefully assist with limiting interruptions or noise distractions during the concerts.

  • All students and parents will enter the school through the west entrances (See images below-Kindergarten and Grade 1 use the west modular doors and Grades 2-6 use the northwest entrance). There will be a sign on the main entrance to direct everyone to those doors.
  • Once inside, the students will put their boots on the boot racks in the west boot rooms and then go to their designated classroom. (See images below).
  • Teachers will have your child's indoor shoes and Santa hats in their designated room on the west-end of the building.
  • Parents, please have your child in their assigned room 15 minutes before their performance time.
  • Parents, after bringing your child to their assigned room, please line up downstairs in the west-wing, behind the doors. You will be invited to go up the main staircase prior to the start of your child's concert.  After each concert, students will go back to their designated classroom through the doors in the upper west-wing. Parents will exit the concert area via the upper west-wing hallway/doors to meet their child. For parents who are watching multiple concerts, we encourage them to quickly collect their child and head back to the seating area to watch. 
  • At the beginning of the night, Santa will be set up in one of the classrooms for our ECS and Grade 1 students. They can visit him AFTER their concert.

Thank you for your support and patience as we plan our first Christmas Concert in our school.
