 Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone weathered the storm that we had on Monday.  That was something else!  

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*November 18/21, all teachers will be sending out our conference sign up for the upcoming Zoom meetings on Thursday, December 2nd and Friday December 3rd.  Please note that students will be dismissed at 11:30 on the 2nd and will not attend school on the 3rd as teachers will be busy conferencing with parents/students.  Your child is an important part of this conference and should attend with you.  The conference is a time to celebrate your child's learning and set goals for the upcoming term.  You will pre-conference with your child at home as they will be bringing home some work samples to share with you prior to our meeting time.  Your conference block of time will be 15 minutes but the actual conference will be approximately 10 minutes.  If parents are meeting from two different locations, please share the zoom link with each other so that all parties can attend as there is only one conference time per child.  Thank you!

*Book bags are now going to be coming home.  There is a letter inside outlining their use.  These will be changed every 2-3 weeks and should be returned to the school daily.

*Please send in headphones/earbuds for your child's use during Reader's Workshop

*As the temperature drops, please send in an extra layer for your child as our classroom door is often open 

*This Friday, November 19th is the hot chocolate fundraiser. Please send $2 in a labeled envelope/baggie in your child's lunch kit if you would like them to participate.  Here is the information that was sent to staff from the Leadership Group.  Thank you to Mrs. Mcbeath for initiating this fundraiser:  

I just wanted to remind everyone that leadership students are planning a fundraiser on Nov 19th to benefit the local Maple Ridge Hospital.  Students will be coming around next Friday Nov 19th during lunch to sell “hot chocolate kits” which will contain prepackaged hot chocolate mix, wrapped Hershey’s Kisses and wrapped miniature candy canes. These kits will cost $2 each.

*Division 10 will also be taking leadership in another great fundraiser.  Starting November 24th, will be collecting $ and gift cards for the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Hamper Society.  In previous years, we have enjoyed being Santa's helpers and collecting toys but unfortunately, this year the society needs to simplify their distributing process due to Covid which is why only gift cards and $ can be accepted.  If you are writing a cheque over $25, please make it out to the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Hamper Society so that you can receive a tax receipt.  Any cheque below that amount can be made out to Fairview Elementary.  Thanks in advance for your support for this great cause.

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
