UPCOMING DATES
|
INQUIRY FAIR
Parents are welcome to join us in the library at 12:25pm on January 18th
for our Inquiry Fair. Here, students from Mme. Clouthier and Mme.
Berky's classes will be sharing work that they did this past term on a
variety of fascinating topics. Come on out and share in their learning!

SCHOOL DAY
Please remember that our school day ends at 3:10pm each day.
It is important for student learning that students finish their
academic day with their classmates and their teacher. Students who leave
early on a consistent basis are losing valuable instructional time with
their teacher. They are also often missing opportunities to learn about
what is for homework and they are disrupting the classroom flow for the
other children.
Moving forward, if you need to pick up your child early we ask that
you put a note in your child's planner that day and remind your child
to watch for when they are to come down to meet you so we do not have to
interrupt the learning of the whole class. If the early pick up is
unexpected, we ask that you call into the office before you arrive and
we will do what we can to have the child waiting for you in the office.
After 2:40pm each day, we will not be able to call into the
classrooms for early pick-ups. The phone calls are much too disruptive
to the children and the teacher involved and they impede the learning of
all.
