Happy Weekend

When it rains look for rainbows, when it's dark look for stars. – Oscar Wilde. 

Hello families,

This first week of online learning has been great. Most students have been able to access the Google Classroom and seem to be taking on their learning with positivity. A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone supporting our students at home. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns.

A reminder that students will be assigned approximately 5 hours of school work per week. Many students have asked for more work so beginning next week I will post OPTIONAL extra materials on the blog for those that feel they would like more. We do encourage students to step away from screens often and do not expect more than the 5 hours a week.

Please remember that there is no school tomorrow (Fri., Apr. 10) because it is Good Friday and Mon., Apr. 13th is a PD Day so new assignments will be posted until Tues., Apr. 14.

I wish all of you a wonderful weekend. Stay safe.

I certainly hope you've had an amazing start to the school year and are excited to be back at school. There are a few reminders I would like to post for you. Please take note of each item so students are set up for success: 1)    Reminder about “Soft Entry”. To help ease students coming into the school, our grade 5/6 doors will be open at 8:15 and students are allowed to come in anytime between then and 8:30 when class starts. During that time, students will be supervised and allowed to do any catch-up work, read, meet with the teacher, get a head-start on other activities, etc.   2)    Some things that your student could bring and keep at school: a.     Indoor shoes, if you haven’t already brought a pair. b.     A water bottle that goes home every day to be cleaned. c.     A reading book that can be left at school for a period of time.  d.     A pair of their own headphones and ear buds that can be left at school.  e.     A deck of their own cards if possible.
