Trivia Night ~ Friday April 26th!

Click HERE for information on tonight’s 1st annual Nelson Trivia Night!

Student Led Conferences

Next Thursday April 18th, are Nelson’s annual Student Led Conferences. I cannot wait as it’s my favourite time of the year in our classroom. I love to see the pride and excitement the kids have when sharing their work with a loved one.
Please come visit our classroom between 2:10-4:00 and 5:00-6:00. The classroom will be closed for a dinner break from 4:00-5:00. You will be read to, presented work, shown around the classroom and asked to play a game. Please come ready to celebrate your child’s achievements.
This will be completely led by your child and not a time to discuss their progress. I would be happy to meet with you at another time to discuss their report card etc.
If possible, please do not bring any other children so the focus can be on the child sharing.
Thank you! Any questions? stephanie.watt@burnabyschools.ca
