November 27/18

Hi Everyone,

I look forward to seeing all of you at the conferences tomorrow.  Please check the portal to confirm your time.  Please note:  You will only sign up for one 15 minute slot but you will stay here for 30 minutes.  The first 15 minutes is for you and your child to celebrate their work in the hallway, the last 15 minutes will be spent conferencing together.  For example:  If you sign up for the 2:00-2:15 time slot, you will come at 2:00 but stay until 2:30.  Please come and see me if you need further clarification.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Donations to the Christmas Hamper will be gratefully accepted until this Tuesday, December 4th.  Thank you for supporting this great cause.  Your children have been doing a great job of promoting this toy drive.

*Tomorrow is an 11:00 dismissal, please ensure that your child still attends as we will be spending some time in the morning getting organized for the conference.  We also have library so everyone who returns their books will have the chance to get a new one for the long weekend.  Mrs. Holmes gave us some reminders to send home regarding books that haven't been returned.  Please check your child's planner/back pack for a slip with the name of the missing book.

*Please pay the fees for 'Owls and More' if you have not already done so.  There are also still some outstanding charges for planners.  Thank you

*Our day to attend the entrepreneur fair that the grade 7's are putting on is Thursday, December 6th.  All items will be available for between $2-$5  Please clearly mark all money that is being sent in so there is no confusion over what is being donated and what is for the fair.  Thank you!

*Our concert is fast approaching.  If you have not already done so, please go on 'Eventbrite' to get your tickets.  The day time performance is free but you still need to get a ticket to attend.  Also, please see the previous posts for our dress for those dates.

*A portal announcement regarding our upcoming skating field trip on December 13th is now on the portal.  Driver's will be needed (please ensure you have an updated abstract if you would like to volunteer)  Thank you!


Please mark your calendar:  Thursday, January 31 we will be going to Science World as part of our unit on nutrition/the human body.  We will be hiring a bus to take us to/from this field trip but we will require a few parent volunteers.

I look forward to celebrating your child's learning over the next couple of days.

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
