Dear Families.
The rainy weather this week did not slow us down!
Our Primary students have been busy preparing for the Spring Concert and many intermediate classes worked on finishing up their speeches. All students have been busy reading as you may have seen through the PAC Facebook post we are at 35% of our $2500 goal. To support our Reading Challenge Fundraiser please either send a donation directly to school with your child or visit the following website site:

On Wednesday and Thursday some of our classes had the presenter Yukon Dan in to share his knowledge of Gold Panning and to help recognize Earth Day, Environmental Educator, Dan Mikolay from Ridge Meadows Recycling came in and present workshops on the importance of “worms.”
Families who ordered Primary Spring Concert tickets will receive them on Monday, so please check your child’s backpack. Extra tickets will be available Monday, at dismissal, in the front entrance. ( Limit 2 per family). Due to limited space we do ask that strollers are not brought into the gymnasium.
Moving?
If your child is in Grade K-6 and you know that you will be moving and will not be attending Albion in September please, ensure you let the school know by either giving us a call or by completing a Transfer Form located on the Parent Portal.
Class Placements
We are beginning to create our classes for next year. Please be assured that staff devote considerable time, care, and attention to this process. This very complex and lengthy responsibility occurs over several weeks and continues into September when class placements are finalized.
Throughout the year, there have been many opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss each child. Staff work together to consider the following criteria very carefully: social emotional skills and relationships, as well as learning styles, strengths, and needs. Our goal is to create safe and engaging inclusive classrooms that balance these factors, as equitably as possible.
If you feel there is further information to consider about your child, you may submit input to Mrs. Dailey in writing by Friday, May 26, 2023. Please refrain from requesting specific teachers or peers by name.
