Principal's Message
The holiday season is in full gear and the magic and excitement of the season can be felt throughout the school! What a special gift children have to see life through the lens of imagination and anticipation. How lucky we are to be surrounded by them each day.
My favorite part of the day is to visit classrooms and see your children learning and progressing. Thank you for all of the hard work you do at home to support our teachers, and for making it a priority to have your students here on time so they don't miss important instructional time. It makes a huge difference!
As a reminder, our 2nd term SEP Conferences will be held on Thursday, December 14 from 3:40-8:30 pm. Your child's teacher will send you information on how to sign up for a time to visit.
Lastly, as the weather has turned cold, please make sure that your child comes to school each day dressed to be outside. We will be sending students outside for recess every day unless it is raining, snowing, or if the temperature is below 20 degrees.
I hope you have a very happy holiday season!
Sincerely,
Ms. Grant
