Weekly Update - October 21

Good Morning,

 

I am so honored to be working at this school and seeing the amazing learning that is happening in our building and on the land.  We have been extremely busy focusing on increasing our numeracy and literacy skills in all our grade levels. 

 

In order to make sure all students are getting the incredible learning opportunities they really need to be in school.  We are here to support all children in our school community to attend school on a regular basis.  If you need to connect with one of the teachers or myself, my door is always open.  Have an amazing long weekend, stay safe and be kind. 

 

Please be reminded that we have a PRO D DAY on Friday, October 22nd. School is not in session.
