Thank you all for respecting the débarcadère and allowing parents to drive through in the morning before 7:25am. The police are also giving tickets, so please respect the signage and park accordingly. Please do not double park and block the street. The signs and rules are to ensure everyone’s safety. Let’s work together!
Thank you to all who brought their school spirit when celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at school and/or the school dance. Thank you to our PPO for organizing the Family Dance. These night events are meant to bring together our school community and we appreciate our parents and staff for volunteering their time and efforts in making these events happen.
Thank you to all who joined our Community Coffee. As always, it was beautiful to spend this morning together. We will be holding our coffee time on Wed. April 30. Don’t forget to bring your mug!
The weather is constantly changing. Please ensure that your child has multiple layers and even brings their rainboots. All students are to wear shoes inside the school building and are asked to keep their shoes here.
As we prepare for the end of the school year, students are expected to be in school every day and arrive on time. Evaluations, assessments, and exams (for some grade levels) are to be conducted whereby students must be present. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
The Scholastic Book Fair will take place from Tuesday April 22 to Thursday April 24. Please provide your child with money in a labelled Ziploc bag, as each homeroom class will be scheduled to visit the Book Fair.
A letter will be sent out on April 14 with the schedule. Parents are invited to the Book Fair on Thursday April 24 from 3 to 6pm in the gymnasium.
I LOVE to Read week will be held from April 22 to April 25. P.E.T. is promoting the love of reading with fun activities for all. Your child can participate in any of the suggested themed days if they like. We highly encourage reading with your child every night!
A reminder to kindly use Mozaik or call the school to report your child’s absence by 8:30am.
Please check your child’s health daily and inform the school of any concerns or diagnoses.
Check your child’s agenda daily.
Due to popular demand, the PPO’s SEEDS Fundraiser will be returning in April. Sales will again be done online and profits of 15% will go towards the school.
Wishing you all an amazing last three months of school!
Ms Alvares
