Month: January 2022

Hello Families of Division 11,

Here are some things to note:

Functional Closure Procedure Information (currently we are not in one)

In the event of a functional closure our class will be continuing to use Freshgrade and the class blog (accessible through the school website under staff tab). Activities and assignments will be posted on the blog and Freshgrade to be viewed by families. I will hold daily virtual meetings on Teams at 10am for about an hour to connect with the whole class about the objectives for the day and then meet with smaller groups to provide more individualized support.

To access teams, families can either download the app or go on the web browser. Student  information to access Teams will be put into student planners for your reference. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with this program and ask me any questions you may have. If any issues occur we can try to solve it together before making any transitions online if needed.

Please fill out the Access to Technology survey below before January 28, 2022 https://forms.office.com/r/1kL7m3s8Da

Covid Close Contact Procedure

If your family is considered a close contact of someone who has covid please refer to the images attached below to decide whether your child can attend school. Health decisions must be made by families, but I will try my best to answer any questions you may have.

Fun Lunches

Many families have inquired about future fun lunches, which are put together by the PAC (parent advisory committee). The PAC has reopened the online portal to purchase fun lunches for February and onward until Friday January 21  Please look for the email from PAC about how to purchase the fun lunches.

Thank you for your understanding and support during these uncertain times,

Ms. Diep

Hello Families of Division 11,

Welcome back

I hope you all had a restful and relaxing break. We were so excited to welcome everyone back into the building yesterday.  Staff was busy preparing for the safe return of students and planning for online learning should that be needed. More information regarding online learning will be sent out to families if the time comes in order to make as smooth a transition as possible.

Extra clothes and shoes 

Please make sure to have your child bring an extra pair of shoes and an extra set of clothes that has been labeled with their names to leave in the classroom.

Library

Our library days are still on Mondays, please ensure your child returns their books before then to get new books to read.

Here are some things to note for this month:

January 14 - Black Excellence Day 

On January 14th, thousands of students, educators, and citizens across British Columbia and Canada will wear black shirts in recognition of the struggle for civil rights fought by Black and racialised Canadians.

​Commemorating the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., Black Shirt Day is both a day of education and remembrance, and an invitation to a necessary conversation about racial justice.

January 14 - Fun Lunch

If you have ordered a fun lunch for your child, please bring a ziplock bag for your child's garbage to bring home to dispose of.

Thank you,

Ms. Diep
