Welcome to the Blog, Welcome Conversations and Other Important Dates to Note

Good morning Division 12 families,

Welcome to the Blog!

This will be the platform that I will use to communicate upcoming events, theme days, our classroom calendar and any other important information for the school year.

Welcome Conversations

Our first event is the welcome conversations. This will be held virtually on Tuesday September 27 and Wednesday September 28. Thank you in advance to families who have already signed up. If you have not signed up for a time there are times still available for you to select. Instructions are located below.

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 (academic and outside of school)
  • Stretches (skills you hope your child will develop/ learn this school year)
  • Goals for the school year (academic goal)
  • One wish for your child this school year (can be academic, social, or involve growth mindset)

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. Your children have also selected a wish they have for this school year that I will share with you during our meeting.

In addition:

Do you have a skill, interest or knowledge in a particular area? Would it be a good lesson or skill the class could learn about or partake in? In the past I have co-taught or supported a lesson taught by a parent of the class such as teaching Spanish or clay works. Please let me know in the meeting if you are interested in sharing your passion and we can schedule a date and time.

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

Ms. Toor
