World Autism Awareness Day – April 2^nd is a day to raise awareness of autism worldwide.  It is a time where we are all encouraged to improve our knowledge and understanding of the different experiences and characteristics of individuals on the autism spectrum.  It is also a day to showcase the value that autistic perspectives bring to our workplaces, educational spaces, and communities.  When we wear blue, it’s not only about keeping the conversation going about autism but, it’s also making sure that those with autism and their families don’t feel alone.

Student Learning Surveys – If you have a student in Grade 4 or 7, parents are invited to complete a Student Learning Survey.  This year, parents do not need a logon code to access the online Student Learning Survey.  Electronic surveying is available until May 2^nd.  The website to access the electronic survey is: www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sat_survey/access.htm.  Please do not use Safari as there is currently a glitch with this browser.  We invite you to take 15 minutes of your time to fill this out.  The more parents who complete these surveys, the higher quality of feedback we will receive.  Your input is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lawrance
