Thursday, January 28, 2016

This week our students participated in many enriching activities. Our grade 1-4 students saw the Shoestring Opera (thanks Mrs. Rankin), our intermediate students visited with author, Caroline Pignat, and our grade 1-8 students participated in a lesson using Google Expeditions (thanks to Mr. Hodgson). 

We also had our Parent Council meeting on Monday night. The council is organizing Springfest and is searching for many volunteers to help. We are hoping people sign up sooner than later to help in the planning. Sometimes we end up "begging" for volunteers at the end, and the whole process becomes quite stressful, so please read the Bulletin and sign up as early as possible. Thanks. 

You probably received an email regarding signing up for parent interviews. You'll need the code in the email to use the on-line booking system. As per the email, at this time of the year, interviews are usually held if there is a concern by the teacher or a parent, so don't hesitate to book an interview. Report cards will be sent home on February 5th. 

Mrs. Stefanowicz, our office administrator, asked me to remind you to call the office if we don't have your email on file. Our automated telephone system send messages using it. 

We are having TDSB personnel come check out our pipes tomorrow. The city has been working on a main at the corner and our water tastes a bit "dirty" sometimes-probably from sediment. Caretaker John continues to flush the pipes. Continue to bring water bottles for your children. We will keep you posted. 

Looking forward to tonight's middle school music night.
