KLEEFELD SCHOOL PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL  Due to in school classes being suspended by the Province of Manitoba, PAC meetings are cance�ed. We  

look forward to when we wi� be able to resume in school learning and our regular PAC meeting  schedule.  

  BAND / MUSIC @ KLEEFELD SCHOOL    The closure of schools has had a great impact on our band and music program at Kleefeld School. The �rst  

e�ect was that our Band Bash Fundraiser (Thursday, March 19) was cance�ed. Since then, the Province of  Manitoba has closed in school learning inde�nitely. This has a�ected the remainder of the band and musical  

events for this school year (grade seven band @ Optimist Festival, grade six orientation for grade seven event, spring  musicale, grade eight band trip, grade seven/eight June concert). Undoubtedly we a� have many questions surrounding  the cancelation of these events. We are in contact with HSD and the Province of Manitoba for directives. Once we  receive that information, we wi� pass it on to you.

CLASS REQUESTS  We are fast approaching the time of year where we wi� be creating classes for next year. There are a  number of factors which are considered as classes are being created. One of those factors is that  students have a friend in their classes. Norma�y, teachers co�ect this information from their students  

in school. This year is not normal - so, please could students and/or parents notify their students’ homeroom teacher  with a list of 5 friends. We need to receive these lists by Monday morning, April 27 . After this date, we wi� do our best  to connect students with friends based on teacher observations.     Another type of request we receive from parents is class placement requests. Parents wishing to request students’  placement in a speci�c classroom should be made by the morning of Monday, April 27 . After this date, adjustments wi�  be made only in the direst of circumstances. It should also be noted, that while we do not guarantee or promise class  placements, we wi� try our best to honour those requests.
