First Week of June!

It's a very busy time of year for the students as many are finishing up projects and assignments. Our grade 3 to 8 students have just completed the Spring Canadian Test of Basic Skills (CTBS) and our grade 3 & 6 students will be completing the EQAO assessment next week. Our staff will use the results as informal assessment tools for further programming and evaluation.

Just a reminder that the Character Trait for June is 'Perseverance'. We just celebrated 'Integrity' at this week's Sharing Assemblies. This is a hard concept to understand, especially for the little ones, but can be described by choosing to do the right thing. We also told the kids that it is alright to make mistakes, but the important thing is to learn from them for the future.

I got a call from Parks and Rec to remind the parents in the community that the pool will be under renovations this summer.
