***Please note that White Spot only offers meals so individual items cannot be ordered unfortunately***

Please make sure you complete your order with payment. Any unpaid orders are not included on the food/class distribution report (ie. your child will NOT receive lunch if your order is not paid)

We are sorry, but no late orders will be accepted 😊

2. Just a reminder that this coming weekend is the Family Day weekend and there is also a District wide Pro-D next Tuesday. There is no school for students on Monday February 20^th (Family Day) or Tuesday February 21^st (Pro-D Day).
3. Jersey Day is THIS Friday at c’usqunela!!!

All students and staff are invited to wear the favourite team or club jersey to join in the fun this Friday February 17th.

4. Term 2 Student Inclusive Conference Information

Students and staff have been hard at work again this term and we are now approaching our term two conference days where we get to celebrate successes and discuss student goals for next term.

This year when you sign up for conferences the District booking system also has an “on line” option. We ask that families ONLY select this “on line” option if there is no way for them to come in for an in person conference. In addition, we ask that families selecting this option confirm with their child’s teacher if that day/time is available for an online option, as teachers are planning for a primarily “in person” student inclusive conference format. “In Person” conferencing is far more powerful and effective for student learning than an online video conference.

The power of the student inclusive reporting conference comes from the student, teacher, and parents sitting together to review the child’s portfolio and discussing progress together. Compared to an “in person” conference, the online conferencing, does not provide the same opportunity for conversation and review of materials and progress. We strongly encourage families to come into the school for a conference rather than request the on line option. We really want to see parents in person at the school to talk about, and celebrate, your child’s progress and successes together.

Mr. Wheatley
