Announcements
Parent-Teacher Conferences - March 19 & 20
Conferences will take place on March 19 from 4:30pm to 7:30pm and on March 20 from 8:30am to 1pm. Parents have the option of attending an in-person or online parent-teacher conference. The booking system is now open.
Scholastic Book Fair
During the week of March 16-20, students will be invited to enjoy the book fair. This is an opportunity for students to buy books and small items to enjoy, with the proceeds going directly to help our school buy new resources. Last year the money went to helping our school buy new copies of some well-worn books and nonfiction books since they were desperately needed. Students will have a chance to preview the book fair and a second chance with which to buy something. Even a few dollars can get students something. The book fair will also be open during parent teacher interviews so please pop by!
Lost and Found Items
Teachers will be walking their classes past our lost and found items over the next couple of weeks. We also encourage parents to have a look through the items before/after school. Anything unclaimed after March 20 will be donated.
Indoor Shoes
Please ensure that your child continues to come to school in a different pair of shoes than they wear at school. More dirt and debris is being tracked into the school now that the weather has warmed up and when students do not change into their indoor shoes. Indoor shoes are meant to remain at school. Our Facility Operator and cleaning team thank you very much!
