Parent/teacher Interviews

Term one reports are being sent home today. In the envelope you will also find an interview request form. Please complete the bottom portion of this form and return it as soon as possible. Interviews will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. If you have more than one child needing a teacher/parent interview, please indicate this and I shall make every effort to schedule consecutive appointments. I will confirm a definite time once I am aware of your preference for this reporting period.

Our Dirty Classroom

At this point in the year, I’m finding it necessary to make a special request to those who have not sent in a second pair of shoes for their child. As the students very active on the playground, specifically on the field, our classroom gets very dirty because of the shoes that are coming in full of mud. Please assist in this area and ensure that your child comes to school with a 2nd pair of shoes that can stay there permanently.

Thank you so much in advance for your understanding and co-operation.

Remembrance Day Donations

On November 11th, poppies will be distributed to our students. Families are kindly encouraged to make a donation, however small, as every bit helps towards the support of any or all of the following:
* assistance to ex-service personnel and their dependents
* low rental housing and care facilities for elderly or disabled persons and their dependents
* community medical appliances and medical research
* drop-in centers, meals on wheels, transportation and related services for senior citizens
* paying for bursaries for needy students
* cost of poppies, wreaths and supplies

Thanks so much in advance!
