This week will be a short week, since Friday is a Professional Development Day for staff only. So, no school for students.  Enjoy your early weekend.

Please, have your child here promptly at 8:45 early entry.  This allows them to get settled and prepared for the start of the school day.  I post Morning Tasks to help students develop organizational skills and independence, so please make every effort to have your child at school on time.  Arriving at 9:00 am does not give your child enough time to get organized for the day.  Thank you for your support in this!

Also, on this note, if you need to remove your child for appointments or other valid reasons, please try to arrange to pick up your child during or just before a natural break during the day.  For example, morning recess 11:04, Lunch 12:00, or last recess 2:35 would be the best times so as not to interrupt student learning.  I teach until 3:20 everyday.  This final period is when I teach one of  the 10+ subjects I am responsible for covering in this very busy grade three year! So every period is important.  I will send home any and all missed work to be completed by next day. As you can see, I REALLY want your child for the WHOLE day, there is just SO much to learn!  Thank you parents!

Finally, I am hoping all students have indoor gym shoes (to remain at school for the year) and a pair of headphones/earphones for computer class.  If you have not yet purchased these items, please do at your earliest convenience. Thank you again!

I know this is alot, but thank you for supporting what I do here with your child!  Your support is critical in making this year a positive and successful year!
