Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to your grade 4 or grade 5 year! I’m happy to be working with you this school year, and I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone. Here are a few things to know as we start off:
Arriving and Leaving School
Division 5 will be entering and exiting at the side door near the community entrance. I will put a sign in the window for “Division 5.” If you need to pick up your child early or there is an appointment that will delay their arrival to school, please send me an email as a heads up, and sign in/out your child at the office.
Planners
Students will be bringing home a temporary planner for now. We will write in the planners each day, and the students should be taking the initiative to share their planner with you at home. They should be prepared to answer any questions you have about what they have written. We will be working on recording information clearly and concisely, ensuring we include enough detail to be understood. Your child will bring you a pen to sign their planner, and it is their responsibility to ensure their planner travels to and from school with them each day.
Our class keeps an online planner board linked in the menu of this website, so feel free to cross-reference it at home.
School Supplies
We are hoping that all students have their supplies by the end of this week. Please find the grade 4/5 supplies list linked here. Tip: if you have a big box of pencils, for example, it’s a good idea to only send a few to school and keep a stash at home (so they don’t all end up in the lost and found box).
More information will come along as needed once schedules and routines become established. Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions.
Chat soon 🙂
