On Friday, August 29, 2025, from 11:00am-12:00pm, we welcome all Colonel Sanders students and their families to an Informal Open House. Students must come with a responsible adult, this is not a drop off event. 

This event is for students and their families to meet the Colonel Sanders staff members who work within the building. 

Students and families will have the chance to meet their 2025-2026 classroom teacher, see their classroom and see the grade level doors.  As well, families will have the opportunity to meet our French and Music teachers. 

Our Staff Association members will also be present, thus families will be able to meet them.  Staff Association members support our students during learning times, as well as during the lunch break. At Colonel Sanders we have a Lead Lunch Supervisor, a Lunch Supervisor, two Education Assistants, two English as an Additional Language Assistants, and two School Assistants who focus on working with students across the school day. We also have Secretary C and an Administrative Assistant who also work with students when they come to the office. 

The Informal Open House is also a great opportunity for families to meet one another and for students to see their future classmates. 

This is a casual event with the focus on reducing uneasy feelings about the first day of school. Staff will be in casual dress as they will still be getting the school ready for the first day of school on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. 

If your student is new to Colonel Sanders, this would be a wonderful opportunity to begin developing relationships within the building! 

For students who are returning to Colonel Sanders, this could increase the excitement for the first day of school! 

Teachers will be sending a welcome letter to all students on Thursday, August 28, 2025, after 2:00pm. Please view this email before the Informal Open House as it will tell you who your student’s teacher is and the class number for you to go to during the event. School administration will have a master list and can help guide you and your student to the appropriate classroom. 

When you arrive, please enter through the main doors, off Trafford Drive NW. There will be staff direct you to classrooms, as well as posted maps. Please check your SchoolMessenger as a classroom map was sent out to all families.

We look forward to the 2025-2026 school year!
