March 25th Week

We hope everyone had a wonderful March Break and Easter weekend relaxing with friends and family. Although the breaks helped many people "reboot", they have created a few short weeks for us. I had Mr. Bracht's class today for a library period and we talked about how hard it is to keep focused due to the lack of routine. Through their discussions, it really did show me, once again, how important routines are for kids, and adults!

Even though Spring has arrived, you would never know it as I watch the wet snow come down right now. Please remember that we do still have ice underfoot, especially from the back gate leading into the school. Mr. Britton continues to salt, and we have put a couple of calls into the Board for backup salt if it continues to snow and ice. Please be careful when coming into the parking lot or playground.

Just a reminder that report cards will be sent home on April 1st. Parent/teacher interviews will be held next Thursday night and Friday, although other arrangements have been made between staff and parents. Second term interviews are usually arranged if there is a teacher or parent concern. If you didn't get a parent/teacher interview letter, and would still like to speak to the teacher after receiving the report card, please do not hesitate to call the teacher.

John G. is having a reunion! I'll put the information on my blog tomorrow or the next day.
