School Updates – May 5th, 2021

STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES

These conferences will not be able to be held “in-person” this year. Rather, each student will be bringing home a portfolio to share with their parents. Students will have an agenda to follow with their parents. It may include activities to do together and samples of work that the child has completed. This is meant to be a sharing and celebration of work completed and skills attained.  As originally planned, classes will not be in session on Thursday, May 20th. It is suggested that families complete their conferences at home on this day. Families will also receive a form from their child’s teacher to fill out and return. 

SCHOOL SUPPLIES for SEPTEMBER (already!)

School Supply lists for next year are attached. Kindergarten supplies will be ordered in bulk for next year, so there is no supply list. Grades 1 to 7 orders must be placed on-line (not through the school). Our school code is 4360. Orders must be placed by May 28, 2021. EduPacs will be shipped to the school, and will be sent home for labelling on the first day of school. 

HOT DOG LUNCH

Monday, May 10th is a Hot Dog lunch day for those that signed up for this fundraiser.
