Principal's Message
February has come to an end and warm weather is just around the corner. As we look ahead to March, I want to highlight a few things:
- Report Cards will be available on the Parent Portal for all grade 1-4 students on Friday, March 19. If you do not have a Parent Portal account or are unsure how to access yours, please contact the office at 204-326-3325
- We will be having a virtual NED assembly on Friday, March 19 at 9:15. Students will participate in this assembly in their classrooms together with their class. If you're curious about what NED is, follow this LINK
- As the weather warms up our playground tends to get pretty wet and sloppy. Please make sure to send your child with appropriate outdoor clothing (splash pants, rubber boots, etc) for outdoor recess. An extra pair of socks in the backpack wouldn't hurt either!
I hope you all take time to enjoy the warmer weather and get outside. We are always looking for learning opportunities outside once the weather warms up after being cooped up for the winter!

As we close off I Love to Read Month we wanted to share a short video with some Home Reading Tips. While the video specifically mentions home reading in Kindergarten, these reading tips are very appropriate when doing home reading with kids of all ages.
