Good afternoon Division 12 families,

Hope everyone is having a great long weekend!

A reminder that tomorrow is our Terry Fox Run. Please wear running shoes for this walk, jog or run event.

Below is our October Calendar:

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

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

Good afternoon families,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our walking trip to Central Park. We will keep a eye out on the weather and make a decision as a staff in the morning if it rains.

We will be leaving the school at 9:30am and will make our walk back around 2:00pm. Drop off and pick up times are at 8:50am and 3:00pm as usual.

Please ensure your child is already wearing:

• their swim suit
• a sun hat
• suncreen
• running shoes **for the walk**

Your child will need to bring (in their backpack or spare bag they can carry on their own):

• water bottle
• sunscreen (to apply again after lunch)
• a towel
• a change of clothes (if needed)
• sandals or water shoes
• snack and lunch

P.S. Wednesday June 29 will be a 10am dismissal. No need to bring planners to school after today 🙂

Please note that next school year all primary classes will be going back to communal supplies. Families will need to pay a set fee and teachers will order the necessary school supplies for all students. More information about this will be sent home in September. 

Thank you and looking forward to spending our final full day of school at the park!

Ms. Toor

Good afternoon families,

We have begun our year end classroom clean up.

Students in Division 12 will start bringing home their portfolios, school supplies and extra clothes/ shoes today.

Good morning families!

Suncrest Waterpark – June 22 & 23

If the weather is warm enough our class will be going to the Suncrest Waterpark next to our school on June 22 from 10:50am – 11:50am and June 23 from 1:00pm – 2:50pm. We will be joined by Division 11 on both days. Please ensure your child comes to school with the following items listed below on these days. As there are no change rooms in the school, it would be best if students came to school wearing their swimsuits under their clothes. Families are welcome to join us during these times!

Please pack:

– a water bottle

– sunscreen

– a hat

– a bathing suit or change of clothes/ water shoes or sandals

– a towel

– a bag to carry their things in

Thank you,

Ms. Toor
