Communicating Student Learning
Kate has been able to help parents this week who may have been having trouble getting on to their new account. If you are still struggling to access the APP or website please drop in and see her, or give her a call and she may be able to walk you through it over the phone. Look to last week's newsletter for key tips to getting on if you haven't done so already.
Perseverance!
The Growth Mindset word for this month is PERSEVERANCE. Division 1 (Mrs Kaatz's class) has taken on the challenge to share this concept with our school in different ways.
Perseverance is key for success. It means we work through things which are difficult, we continue to try even though it is a struggle. In our learning we need to build these qualities so that we don't give up even when it is hard.
In Division 4 students are saying "I can do hard things".
Lost and Found
Come and see if you have any missing items in our lost and found.
Ordering Photos
You can now view your child's image at Artona's website: www.artona.com and order online. Photo retake day is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 27th.
Cardboard Challenge
The gym was a cardboard arcade this past Thursday. Thanks to all the parents who were able to stop by. There was amazing energy as students showcased their games, and our other students were able to come and participate. Throwing, catching, fishing, thinking, strategizing, and co-operating were only a few of the skills needed for the presenters and the participants. It was an event that added joy to our learning. Thanks Div 3 and 4 for your enthusiasm.
