Hello Families of Division 10,

This is a friendly reminder that if you are running late to school in the morning please go straight to the classroom door with your child and knock loudly on the door. It is important to stay with your child until they are greeted at the door because there may be times when we are out of the classroom. If after a few minutes there is no response then please call the school.

Thank you,

Rebecca Diep

Hello Families of Division 10,

On Wednesday April 7th, we will be participating in a virtual field trip through a zoom session from 10:30am - 11:30am with the Space Centre. Many students in Division 10 show interest in space, science and astronauts, so we are excited to have this opportunity to begin our inquiry. We will not have our camera on during the zoom session, but I will be able to ask questions or wonderings that our class comes up with in the chat.

Check out the link for more information on the session:

Report Cards Go Home March 5

On Friday students will be bringing home their report cards for Term 2. Please make sure to empty the envelope and keep the documents inside at home, sign the envelope and return the empty envelope to the school as soon as possible, so that I may reuse it for Term 3. 

Students will also be bringing home a large red folder with their school work inside (things they have been working on since the beginning of the school year). Please have a look through these with your child to talk about their learning. The red folders are for families to keep.

Hello Families of Division 10,

Valentine’s Day

Tomorrow we will be having our in class celebration for Valentine’s Day. Thank you in advance for being so patient and understanding this year as things are a bit different with celebrations.

A reminder to only send treats for your child to enjoy during our film, that is much appreciated.

Family Day

Family Day is on Monday February 15th, there will be no school on that day. Tomorrow your child will bring their Kindness Coupons and a card home which are gifts for the family. Each child has chosen different things to add to their coupon book to give to you. They are very excited to share them with you. Inside there are a few other treats for you all to share, which is a little gift from me.

Thank you and enjoy your long weekend!

Good afternoon Families of Division 10,

Welcome back,

I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing break. Here are some reminders:

Outdoor Classroom

We will continue to go outdoors rain or shine for recess, lunch and learning activities. Please ensure your child has appropriate weather attire. It is helpful to have rain boots at the school for Outdoor Classroom as the students love to explore water and often get their feet wet in the creek.

Indoor Shoes and Extra Clothes

Everything in your child’s cubby was sent home before the holiday break. Students will need to bring back their indoor shoes and extra clothes.

Students will need (at minimum):

-Pants

-Shirts

-Underwear

-2 or 3 Pairs of Socks

Scholastics

When placing an order online please use our Class code: RC124097

Library

We will have Library every Monday. Please return your child’s books by Friday or Monday morning each week.

Masks

While wearing masks is not mandatory, we encourage everyone to wear masks as part of our classroom/school mask wearing culture. This is to ensure we are helping to protect one another as a community of learners.

Planners

Continue to check your child’s planner for important messages, reminders and notices. Please sign under each day and check the front planner pocket for anything sent home.

Words of the week

Weekly words will be posted in your child’s planner to practice at home at the beginning of each week. You can practice reading them, writing them on whiteboards, playing word games or writing them down in sentences.

Words their way

We will practice our cards during the week during our “Word Work” portion of our Daily 5 Literacy Program. At the end of each week you will find them in the planner pocket of your child’s planner. Please take them out and keep them at home for your own practice. Your child will receive new cards each week to help develop our literacy skills.

Thank  you,

Ms. Diep
