Dear Parents,

The end of this semester approaches, and with your children, we look forward to welcoming you next week for the Winter Performances. Thank you to parents who have engaged our students in holiday creativity - the classrooms look lovely, and ready to enjoy our celebrations together. It’s festive time of year.

On Wednesday next week, your child will bring home their report card. Please take some time to review this with your child. The annual one page calendar for the year 2020-21 will also be distributed to families along with your youngest child’s report.

Kindergarten Math Morning
Thank you to the parents who attended our last Family Math Morning of this school year in Kindergarten. Below, please see a link to the presentation that was shared with all Kindergarten parents, including information about a fun family game to play at home, and information about the Kindergarten math curriculum. As always, the children and teachers love to have you join in the math classroom. See you next year!  

Roots and Shoots
This school year Root and Shoots has chosen to help Blue Cross of India. On Tuesday December 10, Roots and Shoots learned about how Blue Cross of India cares for animals from a presentation by Mr. Dawn William, General Manager. After the break, Roots and Shoots will be doing a collection of items for the animals and will be planning a Saturday visit to help the animals.


Have a wonderful weekend!
