Sept. 16th, 2016

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to Div.8's classroom blog.  I will be posting new information/updates on this site each week (most often on Friday).  I ask that you please check in every weekend to find out what events will be happening in the school/classroom.  Thanks so much!  I am looking forward to a great year with your children and your parent involvement will be greatly appreciated!
**Please note: You may contact me via our school email:  Amanda_Roberts@sd42.ca  Please do not try to reach me at the email attached to this blog as I do not check it.  Thank you!

Important Dates
The dates that you will need to make note of for September are in the 'Monthly Calendar' section of this blog.  Looking ahead you may also want to take note of dates that we were able to secure for skating: October 14th (am), December 15th (pm) and March 8th (am).  You will receive more detailed information/permission forms via the parent portal closer to the time of each event but I just wanted to give you the 'heads up' in case you would like to join us.  Parent drivers will be needed for these field trips.

The Terry Fox Run has been rescheduled.  It is now on September 27th as Mrs. Watkins was able to secure a special guest to speak to the school on that day.

Reminders
*$55 is due for each student in the primary grades as we have pre-purchased school supplies for everyone this year.  This price also includes the cost of the school planner.
*please complete the walking permission forms for your child (via the parent portal).  Permission needs to be given in order for your child to go 'off site' for the Terry Fox Run.
*please send a pair of indoor running shoes for your child to change into each day, these help to keep our school clean and our gym floor dry (so that it is not slippery)

Thanks so much!

Amanda Roberts
