Month: April 2024

Good afternoon families,

Hope you all had a great long weekend!

Tomorrow is Class/ Whole School Picture Day for Suncrest!

We also have Library tomorrow with Ms. Ho!

See you all tomorrow,

Ms. Toor

Good afternoon families,

Tomorrow is our field trip to Burnaby Village Museum (Tuesday April 23rd).  We have two workshops that we will partake in at the museum. We will have lunch at 11:30-12pm.

If you are a parent driver we’d love for you to be at school at the first bell at 8:50am so we can go over where to park, groups and enough time to get the booster seats in the car. We are planning to leave Suncrest at 9:15am and leave the museum around 1:30pm right after our second workshop.

Attached is the map for parking and if you plan on remaining on site to support with supervision please park in the (bus/ chaperone lot).

We will have to walk over to the carousel entrance as there is construction going on in the museum regular entrance. If you are planning on dropping off and returning at 1:30pm pick up you may be able to find street parking closer to the carousel entrance.

I will have a map for all drivers and will need all parents to finish filling out the insurance forms.

Here is your checklist for the field trip:

• Booster seat (with your name on it if you require one)**

To wear: 

• Closed toed shoes (such as runners)
• Hat or ball cap
• Comfortable clothing for movement

To bring in your backpack:

• Litterless lunch
• Snack
• Water bottle

Thank you!

Looking forward to Division 12’s first field trip!

Ms. Toor

Good morning families,

A big thank you to parents who joined us yesterday and those who are helping us next week for our trip to Burnaby Village Museum! These opportunities cannot happen without your support, time and energy! I am super appreciative!

Here are a few reminders for the next couple weeks:

Student Leds

Student – Led Conferences are tomorrow (Thursday April 18th). Both Thursday and Friday (April 19) will be an early dismissal at 2pm.

All confirmation slips have been sent out on Monday (pink slips). Everyone received the time that works best for their family.

Looking forward to seeing Division 12 lead the conference.

Drivers for field trip

During your child’s student led conference I will quickly chat with parents who have volunteered to drive. I will also hand you the extra driving forms for insurance purposes and chit chat about who will be in your car.

We have lots of drivers and some parents only driving their child. We may have to pair up some parents together. We also have a small space for workshops in the museum so if there are some parents who are just wanting to drive and come back for pick up that is something we can talk about as well.

**Please remember to bring your booster seat labelled with your name on Tuesday April 23rd.

**If you have an extra booster, that is not expired, one of our students might need to borrow one. Please let me know!

Library Next Week (Monday April 22)

As our field trip is on Tuesday our Library day is changed to Monday next week.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

Good afternoon families!

We have been invited to South Slope Elementary School on Tuesday April 16 to watch a dress rehearsal performance of their play “Marry Poppins.”

Since it’s a walking field trip, a few blocks away, we need 3 parents to accompany us for our number ratio.

We will need those 3 parents to meet us at our classroom at 11:50am and we will leave our school soon after that as the performance starts at 12:30pm. We are anticipating being back at Suncrest around 2pm.

Please email me at chanel.toor@burnabyschools.ca if you are interested in coming along with us for the walk and the performance. I will email the first three parents back to confirm that you will be joining us.

Thank you so much! Your support and time allows our class to partake in these extra opportunities!

Ms. Toor

Good afternoon families,

Here are a few reminders.

Extra clothes and indoor shoes:

If your child hasn’t brought their indoor shoes or extra clothes for this term, please bring some this week as during the spring we will have some rainy days.  Please label all clothing as students wear similar sizes and forget what belongs to them if they do not wear the clothing often.

Payment for Burnaby Village Museum:

Thank you to those that have already submitted payments and signed permission forms. Ms. Boleak has kept the payment open for a few more days. If we haven’t received your permission forms or payments, we will need it this week.

Student-Led Conferences/ Notice

Our student-led form will be coming home today. Student- Led conferences will be run by your child on Thursday April 18th from 2:15-7:00pm. Please select a time slot or slots that work best for you. Forms are due Friday April 12th. The students are excited to share with you their portfolio, photos/ video of us learning, show you around the school and lead you through some stations.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

Good afternoon families and Welcome back!

Field Trip!!!

Our first field trip of the year will be at Burnaby Village Museum on Tuesday April 23rd. We are looking for parents to drive to the Museum and back to Suncrest as well as to help support with supervision during the day.

Online cash is now open for payments as of Wednesday April 3rd. Big thank you to Ms. Boleak for getting that ready and open right after returning to school!

Please send in permission forms and volunteer notices as soon as possible so we can figure out how many drivers/ parents are available (forms were sent home on Tuesday). In addition, if your child requires a booster seat we need that information too. On the day of the field trip please send your child to school with their booster seat and with their name clearly displayed on it.

Here is your checklist for the field trip:

To wear: 

• Closed toed shoes (such as runners)
• Hat or ball cap
• Comfortable clothing for movement

To bring in your backpack:

• Litterless lunch
• Snack
• Water bottle

**If we do not have enough volunteers we will have to cancel our field trip**

All volunteer drivers will need to fill out an extra form and I will send them home in your child’s planner so we can have them filled out in advance.

We will also provide a map to drivers with our meeting place at the Museum as well as group names and the shape of our day.
