On Tuesday night, I attended a meeting with the Councillor's office, the owner and the builder of 501 Prince Edward Drive. If you can remember, we attended a Public Hearing a couple of months ago to ask for a redesign of the garage as it created safety issues for our community. The traffic department and builder have redesigned the driveway to create a much safer environment. There will be another Public Hearing on June 9th at 5:00 in Council Chambers to discuss a variety of other variances.
We continue to work our way through the staffing process and the final round of teacher interviews has officially been completed. Some of our teachers will be leaving the school and new ones arriving. We will blog this officially near the end of the year.
Currently, we have been staffed for two grade 6 classes. We have informed our staffing officer that those classes are high in numbers, so we will likely get another grade 6 class for the first day of September. I will have to hire a new teacher in the summer. We will keep you posted.
I had the pleasure of working out the final details of our Parent Council budget with Ms. Riach, our treasurer, and Mrs. Kidd, our Chair, to prepare for our upcoming Parent Council meeting on Monday night. We have an exciting year ahead of us as we are able to continue to focus on purchasing more technology. We will provide more details at the meeting.
Please make sure to attend the presentation by Debbie Gordon before the meeting. Her information is current and will focus on our children as social media consumers. Debbie is always a terrific source of information to parents.
Thank you to all the grade 6-8 students who entertained us tonight at the concert. You have come along way in your skill level since September and you should be proud. We appreciate you.
If your child is attending the Folk Dance Club Festival, please bring a lawn chair as we are outside.
I hope you have a terrific weekend.
