Dear Parents,
Welcome back to our final quarter! It is getting very hot so please make
sure your child is coming to school every day with a named/labelled water
bottle, and with sunscreen already on. If you need to send extra sunscreen in
your child’s bag so they can reapply throughout the day, please also make sure
this is named/labelled.
Inspiration Conversation
On Thursday this week, three of our Grade 4 students, Mihika, Sahana, and
Jeongyeon presented their
thinking around environmental responsibility. Some very innovative and thought
provoking ideas were shared with the audience, including seed pencils! This is
a pencil with a small seed inside; when the pencil is finished, you plant the
seed which then grows a tree.
Last Athletic Parade of the Year!
Next Wednesday, April 10th at 8:30 AM the SAISA Track & Field parade
will begin. Please come out to cheer on our athletes for our final home hosted
event! We would love to see you lining our hallways to cheer on all the
athletes. This will finish in the unity courtyard with the opening ceremony
concluding at 8:50 a.m. Please note that we'll have 200 athletes, and almost 60
coaches and officials so keep the inner courtyard open for them.
Field and Covered Area Closed
From the afternoon of Tuesday 9th April, the field and the covered area
will be roped off. This includes after school Tuesday through Friday, and
before and after school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Grades 2 and 4 will be in the plaza (instead of the covered area) for
drop off and pick up meeting spots Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of that week.
Early Years Parent Coffee
Please join us for an Early Years Parent Coffee on Tuesday, April 9 from 8:45 - 9:45 a.m. in the BBT. During the first half hour, we will be talking
about developmental expectations and the stages of play that you might expect
to see with three and four year olds. During the second part of the parent
coffee, our school counselors will present some strategies and catch phrases to help your
children make and keep friends.
Election Day
Thursday, April 18 is a Poll Day for General and Assembly bi-elections
