This week, Mrs. Norton and I had the opportunity to meet with our teachers in grade teams to work through an activity that focused on assessment. One of our goals is to continue to work together to share best practises in this area in order to always be improving student achievement. 

Don't forget that Parent Council is on Monday, November 21st at 7:00 in the library. During the meetings, we always focus on a curriculum area as part of my report. Next week, Ms. Kimm will speak to our upcoming Inquiry Fair. 

Don't forget to sign up for our Movie night on the 1st. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased on-line at http://tdsb.schoolcashonline.com/ . If you haven't already created an account, you'll have to do so to purchase tickets for school events and pay for field trips. 

We have a meeting next week regarding our Turf Project. So far, we are in stage 1 of the project-Approval. We are working with TDSB to create the design. Once we sign off on Stage 1, we will be ready to move forward with fundraising. During Stage 2, a Design Co-ordinator (TDSB staff) will organize a Topographic Survey (approximately $2000) and Architecture Plans to be completed before proceeding to tender. We are hoping to complete the project within a couple of years with Parent Council and the community support. 

A big thank you to Mrs. Heathe who has organized our Hour of Code Activities. Thanks also to Mrs. Decaria. 

Friday the 2nd is a PA Day. Staff will be involved with professional activities. 

Have a great weekend.
