Welcome back to 2014! I hope you had a relaxing holiday with your family and friends. It's nice that the temperature outside has "warmed" up for us. It was bitter for a few days.  It's great to be back to school. I've always loved this part of the school year as it tends to be quite busy both inside and outside the classroom; sports were actually running the first day back! 

I'd like to welcome Kimm Norton to our school and community. We wish her much success in her role as our new VP. Mrs. Norton has been busy this week getting to know the students and routines. Please do not hesitate to drop in to say hello. 

We are very busy getting ready to welcome our new junior kindergarten students.   Kindergarten registration is February 11th and 12th. If you know anyone who lives in our catchment area and needs to register, please have them call the school at 416-394-7890. We try to get as many people to register in February so we can get a better understanding of the potential number of students for September. 

The students will be very busy over the next few weeks as teachers are completing units and evaluations to prepare for final report cards. Report Cards will be going home February 10th.
