February 27th Update To Families

Dear Families,

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. Term 2 Student Inclusive Conference are THIS week on Thursday March 2^nd (Early Dismissal 11:30am) and Friday March 3^rd (all day). Information regarding how to sign up for the conference has been sent home. Please sign up for one conference slot per child.

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.

3. Lost & Found Items are on tables by the gym!!!

If your child(ren) has lost a jacket, hoodie, water bottle or any other clothing items please make a point of checking the lost and found tables when conferencing. We have some excellent clothing which we would love to get back to their homes!

Mr. Wheatley
