Month: October 2024

Good afternoon families,

Here is another blog post with some important information for families!

Classroom Parent for Division 12

Our class parent is Shelley West (Autumn’s Mom).

Shelley is looking for every parent to email her with:

• Your child’s name
• Phone number (main contact)
• Email address (main contact)

Shelley will be putting the information all together as well as supporting the class with special events around the school.

Shelley’s email is shelleywest75@hotmail.com 

Shelley will let me know which parents have responded and I will reach out to those she is still looking for information from.

Change of Schedule

There has been a change of scheduling. Please note the two changes below.

Photo re-takes: Friday November 1 (MOVED)

Spirit Day (PJ Day): Tuesday November 5 (MOVED)

Friday November 1st is now the day for photo retakes. Our spirit day has now been moved to Tuesday November 5. Only one parent so far has reached out to me about their child taking a photo re-take. Division 12 will still have a PJ Day on Friday and if your child is re-taking a photo please have them bring their PJs to change into after the photo is taken.

Thursday October 31: Carved Pumpkins

If you are bringing your pumpkin back to school carved please ensure your child’s name and Division 12 is on the back or bottom of their pumpkin so we can return it you. All the pumpkins brought to school will be displayed in the gym during our parade! A great Suncrest tradition since I have attended the school! So nice to see it continue!

Parade will still be in the afternoon around 1pm!

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

 

Good afternoon families,

Thank you for all your support, well wishes and patience this week! The wedding went great and was on the day of the atmospheric river! I am so glad to be back with Division 12 after a few days off celebrating with close friends and family!

Our time for the patch is at 1:15pm and hot chocolate is after at 1:30pm!

Wednesday October 30- Photo Re-take day

Families please email me if your child will be re-taking their photo so I know to send them to the photographer that day

Thursday October 31- Halloween

Halloween Parade is at 1pm. Parents are always welcome to view the parade outside (if it’s nice outside) or in the gym. In the afternoon Division 12 will be celebrating with some fun activities, music with Dr. Yanko and a short film to end our day!

Friday Novemberber 1- PJ Day

PJ Day is our first spirit day of the year. I will be putting Division 12 students into house team colours and if students wear their PJs they can earn points for their team. We will have many opportunities for Suncrest students to earn points for their team all school year!

Next week I will be sharing November’s calendar which will have our date for the assembly Division 12 will be sharing in and family reading dates!

Thank you and enjoy your long weekend!

Good afternoon families,

I just sent out an email to you with the information on how to sign up for Parents as Partners conversations.

Please sign up for a 10 minute slot that works for you.

By the end of this week I will post the questions I will be asking, as 10 minutes goes by really quickly and it will help keep out conversation on track.

Attached here is the information that went home in my last email.
