Friday, November 8, 2013

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Ms. Plumley to our staff. Ms. Plumley will be working on the grade 6 team including Resource support. Ms. Plumley has strengths in a variety of areas including technology and early childhood education.

I'd also like to invite you to our Remembrance Day Assembly on the 11th in the gym at 10:30 a.m.

Report cards come home on Monday. The Report Card "season" can be very stressful and the following link may provide some support when discussing your child's progress at home:

I'd also like to point out that as we head into the winter months, stress and anxiety can play a toll on everyone, including some of our students. I've included the following link that may help you navigate through this with your child. If you see any changes in your child's social well being, please do not hesitate to speak to your child's classroom teacher as both home and school can provide support to each other.
