Welcome Back

 Welcome back and happy New Year!  In order for students to get back into the swing of things, please continue with a regular homework routine.  Students continue to have more responsibility.  At the end of the day, agendas are signed once the agenda is completed.  Students are reminded that they need specific items to take home if those items are not already on their desk.  It is up to the student to make the necessary additions.

Winter Attire

 With the cold weather here, please ensure that your child has snow pants as well as hats and gloves/mitts at school each day.  Students are now outside for 40 minutes during their lunch break.

Winter is Coming

 With snow in the near future, it is important for students to have winter boot, snow pants, mitts and hats at school each day.  An extra pair of mitts and/or socks in the school bag is also a good idea. 

Cooler Weather

 With the cooler weather here, please ensure that your child is dressed for the lower temperatures and wet conditions.  Raincoats and boots are encouraged as students go outside when it is misting.  Students should not have umbrellas at school.  A raincoat with a hood is best.  

Welcome Back

 Welcome back to all of our returning families and a special welcome to our new families.  We have been getting acquainted with our new format, (schedule as well as the yard).  It will take time for us to get used to things and work out any issues.  Most of the students have their indoor running shoes which are required for gym class.  Thank you for that.  If your child has not brought them in yet, please do so as soon as possible.  Thank you.

E.Q.A.O.

 Later this month, your child will be writing E.Q.A.O. in mathematics, reading and writing.  We are currently learning how to navigate the test, use the tools it includes, and how to ensure each student does their best.  If you would like to have a look at what your child will be doing, you can have them login to their Hapara account and view the sample provided.

Swim To Survive

 Please make sure that the permission form for Swim to Survive is completed and handed in as soon as possible.  Students will need a bathing suit and towel.  Goggles can also be brought if desired.
