Dear Parents,
Today we celebrated the swimming growth and success of all our EY5 to
Grade 2 students. Seeing these children enjoy being in the water and
demonstrate a wide variety of skills was very impressive! Thank you to Coach
Gio, Coach Velin and all our elementary PE teachers, Jack, Sobha and Lawrence.

Class Placements for 2018-19
Every year, together with counsellors, we review
class groupings and re-create new class lists as elementary children move from
one grade level to the next. As outlined in our handbook, we prioritise the
following criteria when creating new homeroom groups:
- Social groups
- Gender
- Learning needs
- Nationality
- English Language Proficiency
For the past few years we have also sought parental
input. While we do not consider direct requests to have a particular teacher,
we do welcome input for anything you feel would be important for us to consider
when placing your child.
Our form will close next Thursday 2 May as we begin
drafting class lists. Please do not approach a teacher or counsellor directly; complete this form for any special considerations you may
have.
From our Roots and Shoots team
Thank you for supporting our Roots & Shoots and 1st-grade Fundraiser
to help the turtles at the Tree Foundation. It was a huge success! We are
really proud of all the first graders and Roots & Shoots kids that worked
so hard to organize, plan and implement this fundraiser.
We will announce the final amount of money that we raised for the
turtles next week. Here is a link to the photos.
Thank you for helping to make a difference for these amazing turtles!
Roots and Shoots students, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs.
Briggs
