Month: September 2020

Hello Families of Division 10,

Here is some important information regarding the rest of the week.

Orange Shirt Day (Wed. Sept 30)

Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day. We are encouraging all students and staff to wear orange to show that all children matter.  Please come to school wearing an orange shirt or any other article of orange clothing you may have at home. If you do not have anything orange that is okay, we can make something together in our classroom. We have already started talking about what Orange Shirt Day is and we will continue the conversation tomorrow.

Terry Fox Run

Friday is our Terry Fox Run. We will be running with our learning group in the morning. Photos of the event will be posted on Freshgrade. If you would like to contribute to our fundraising efforts, you may do so through the following link:  http://www.terryfox.ca/SuncrestElementary

Library

Our Librarian, Ms. Ho, has brought bins into our classroom with books for students to borrow. Every week she will swap the books so students have a variety to choose from. Each student has taken one or two books home. When they are finished reading the books please bring them back to our classroom.

Thank you,

Ms. Diep

Hi Division 10 Families,

On Friday Sept 25th I sent out invitation links for Freshgrade, please make sure to check your email for that, so you may see what your child and their friends are doing in class. Please feel free to comment on the activities that you see or have a conversation with your child about it so they can share their experience with you.

Thank you to those who have already chosen a time on Wednesday Sept. 30 and Thursday Oct. 1 for our Parents as Partners Conversations. If you have not signed up for a time there are times still available for you to select.

On both those days students will be dismissed at 2pm.

The meetings will be 10 minutes long and will give us time to talk about your child as well as time to get to know each other.

Please come prepared to answer the following questions about your child as we only have a quick 10 minutes together:

• Interests/ hobbies
• Strengths
• Stretches (things you hope your child will develop/ learn)
• Goals for the school year (academic goal)
• One wish for your child (does not have to be academic)

Please have a listen to the story below. After listening to the story please come to the meeting with one wish you have for your child this year. The wish can be academic, social or anything you hope for them this school year.

After reading this story my wish for your children is that they enjoy coming to school each day and that they will learn many valuable things this year. Your children have also selected a wish they have for this school year that I will share with you during our meeting.

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you over Teams,

Ms. Diep

Hello Families of Division 10,

We are in our second week of school together and it has been great getting to know each other better! On Wednesday our class will be going to Suncrest Park next to the school to visit the creek. In order to ensure a successful day at the creek please prepare the following items for your child:

• Waterproof jacket
• Waterproof pants (if possible)
• Change of clothes including spare socks
• Indoor shoes

We may spend more time outdoors on other days, please ensure your child is wearing the appropriate outdoor clothes every day and that they have a change of clothes left in the classroom.

Thank you,

Ms. Diep
