Food Drive

As a school, we are collecting food for the Richmond Foodbank.  Grade 3 classes have been asked to donate in pancake mix and syrup.  Of course, if you have other non-perishable items that you would like to donate, we will be happy to take them.  Donations are being accepted at the school until Friday, Dec. 7.  Thank you for your generosity.

Interviews

This coming Thursday, November 8 we are holding interviews starting at 16:00.  At this time, I like to meet with all parents.  If you are unable to meet on this date, please let me know and we can schedule a telephone interview. 

Spelling and Quick Math

Our Spelling program will begin the week Oct. 15.  Spelling lessons will be sent home on Mondays and are due Fridays with the test on Friday.  Should your child be absent on test day, they will simply be marked as absent.  Spelling duotang must be handed in in order to receive the next lesson.
 Quick math also begins that week.  Your child should know what "fact" we are on each week and which operation (e.g. adding 4)

Welcome

It has been enjoyable meeting your children over the past week.  We will be having an Open House on Thursday, September 20 from 18:00-19:30.  I am looking forward to meeting many of you that evening.

Report Cards

The date for report cards going home has changed.  Report cards will go home on Wednesday, June 27.

Summer Attire

With the warm weather here to stay, please review the school dress code which can be found in the student agenda.  Also keep in mind appropriate footwear for the playground; flip flops aren't the best for running and kicking a ball.

Classrooms Care

Our class is taking part in the Classrooms Care program led by Scholastic Canada.  We are trying to read 100 books by the end of May so that 100 books can be donated on our behalf to a school in Canada that needs books.  Students have a tracking sheet to fill out once a book is read and we are keeping track of our progress on a poster in class.  Happy reading!

Ash Wednesday

The Ash Wednesday liturgy will take place at 9:40 on February 14th.  Everyone is welcome to join us.

Welcome Back

Just a quick reminder to make sure to sign the agenda each night after your child's homework has been completed.  For the first two weeks back, I will continue to make sure that your child has all of the necessary materials out on their desk to complete their homework before I sign the agenda.  Starting the third week, this responsibility will fall solely on each student.  As the year goes by, students need to take on more responsibilities.
