Parent Edition September 2019
The Principal's Corner
Can you believe we are already in week six of the school year? Time flies when you are having fun! Here at Annistown, our teachers and support personnel are committed to providing effective teaching and learning opportunities each day. Our young Generals are well on their way to becoming stronger and smarter!
Thank you for a fantastic school opening. We have had a busy start to the school year with great things happening with our students and school community. Our Curriculum Night was a huge success, and we anticipate continued success with all of our upcoming parent engagement events. Please be sure to join us for our first Parent Connection Night on Thursday, October 17th. During this special opportunity, you will be able to engage in learning from your child's teacher. Teachers will provide strategies and best practices you can use to support students' learning at home. You will be able to practice and apply the learning in the classroom with your child and leave with the needed resources to use with your child at home. How exciting! Additional details about this wonderful learning opportunity will come home soon.
I appreciate your support and involvement in our parent engagement events as they allows us to stay on the same page and communicate with each other more effectively. When we are able to do this, the students of Annistown are the ones who benefit the most.
Thank you for all you do to support the teaching and learning process at Annistown.
Your Proud Principal,
Gwenda Nimmo - Smith
We have a new Assistant Principal!
