Month: June 2022

Hello Division 13 Families,

Thank you to everyone for helping our trip to the waterpark run smoothly. Students were very efficient in changing, putting their belongings away, and following the group plan! Our weather is looking much warmer for Friday.

If you have not done so already, please return your child’s report card envelope as soon as possible so that I can put the new one inside to send home.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day we talked about acknowledging the land we live on and what our family story is (how we came to live where we live now). We also discussed the importance of water and why we are grateful for water. We read Nibi’s Water Song and learned that there are First Nations communities in Canada that do not have access to clean drinking water. In our discussion we recognized that we want to be an ally and the most important thing we can do to help right now, is to learn and share what we have learned with others.

 

With Kindness,

Ms. Raymond

Hi Division 13 Families,

Sorry for the short notice, if the weather is warm enough our class will be going to the Suncrest Waterpark next to our school on Tuesday, June 21 from 1:00pm – 3:00pm and Friday, June 24 from 11:00am – 12:00pm. We will be joined by Ms. Nanson and Ms. Silva/Sharma’s class tomorrow and Ms. Tam’s class on Friday. To avoid congestion in the bathrooms, it would be helpful if students came to school wearing their swimsuits under their clothes. Please ensure your child comes to school with the following items listed below on these days. Families are welcome to join us during these times!

Please pack:

• a water bottle
• sunscreen
• a hat
• a bathing suit or change of clothes
• a towel
• water shoes/ sandals that can get wet
• a bag to carry their things in

With Kindness,

Ms. Raymond

Dear Division 13 Families,

This week will be a very busy one as it is Spirit Week leading up to Sports Day on Friday! Students should wear the following colours on the following days to earn points for their house team:

Monday June 13^th will be Red Day

Tuesday June 14^th will be Green Day

Wednesday June 15^th will be Yellow Day

Thursday June 16^th will be Blue Day

Friday June 17^th is SPORTS DAY (weather permitting)  students should wear their house Team Element colour. (Fire, Water, Earth, Air) and comfortable shoes! (Preferably runners)

If the weather is very rainy Sports Day will be CANCELLED – please refer to the school website for information regarding cancelation.  If Sports Day is cancelled the school day will resume as usual and Dismissal will still be at 1pm.

• BIKE PARADE: On Sports Day there will be a Bike PARADE. This is optional! For those that are not participating we will watch and cheer for others together!
• If students want to decorate a bike or a scooter and enter the parade they may do so. STUDENTS MUST HAVE A HELMET TO WEAR, or they will be asked to walk their bike in the parade. We ask that Bikes be brought to school in the morning at 8:45 am and be placed in the designated colour area against the fence along the backstop area of the field closest to the school. Students must then report to their classroom as usual. There will be an adult watching the bikes to ensure they are safe. After the Parade students will be asked to lock up their bikes along the fence in front of the primary classroom doors or parents could arrange to take them home or to their car/van at that time. Students who do not have a lock to lock up their bikes may leave them in the school Gymnasium until the end of Sports Day. Please Pick up your bike or scooter at the end of the day.

•  Early Dismissal 1pm and Pizza Fun Lunch on Friday June 17^th.

 

With Kindness,

Hello Division 13 Families!

 

A quick update… Our class has filled our rock jar with all their hard work, kindness, and listening. This means that tomorrow we will be having our class reward. Tomorrow students can wear their PJ’s to school and bring 1 stuffed toy. We will watch a film in the afternoon.

Wednesday we will be moving classrooms. Please drop off your child at our classroom door and pick them up 4 doors down in room 5 at the end of the day. It is between Ms. Toor and Ms. Silva’s classroom.

Tomorrow I might send home extra items that are not needed to make our transition to the temporary classroom easier. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

With Kindness,

Ms. Raymond
