A couple of reminders for parents and guardians.

1.  Field Trip forms are due in tomorrow.  Please ensure that all items are filled out and that they are signed.  As we are going to Telus Spark on Thursday morning, it is very important that we have all forms in.  Thank you.

2.  Remembrance Day Assembly is on Friday at 10:30 in the gymnasium at the school.  You are all invited to come and watch as your children participate in this assembly.  

3.  As the weather turns colder, it is also important that students are dressed appropriately for the weather.  They will need 2 pair of footwear (one inside and one outside), a warm, winter coat, snowpants, toque, scarf and mittens.  Socks are also important as they help to keep our feet warm and dry.  It is okay to send extra socks to school in case feet get wet.

I look forward to seeing you on Friday for the Remembrance Day Assembly.

Remembrance Day Assembly - November 8th

Your children will be participating in the Remembrance Assembly on November 8th and we would be delighted if you are able to join us, as we honour those who gave their lives. Further details will follow next week.

Dear parents, please read and sign the field trip form to TELUS Spark Centre, which was send out today with you child. With the support of BP A+for Energy Grant, we were able to reduce the admission price to $6 per child. As always, these amazing learning opportunities can take place with the support of volunteers. Please let me know if you can join us on November 7th, 2019.

In math we started to use rounding the numbers to the nearest ten, hundred or thousand in order to estimate sums.

In art and writing the students have learned about North West Coast Aboriginal People culture through stories and drawing.

In science we explored simple machines and we discussed on how they make our daily tasks much easier. The students are encouraged to identify simple machines in their homes. 

Through a museokit borrowed from Glenbow Museum (funded through an Emerald Foundation Grant) our learners have been exposed to Alberta's natural resources and diverse occupations held by people in the past.

Please encourage you child to share with you the work samples saved on their Google Drive.

Just a quick reminder that Parent Conferences are taking place this Thursday evening and Friday morning.  If you haven't yet booked your appointment please do so on-line, or call the school and we can do it for you. You can also email me back and I can book it for you.  We will have interpreters available so please let us know if you will need one. 

Thursday October 10th is the last day of class before the Fall Break for students. School will finish at 3:01pm. Teachers will be in on Friday for Parent Conferences only. School will re-start on Monday October 21st. 

Please try to return any overdue library books this week - students will have the opportunity to take out new books this Thursday to have over the holiday.

The Book Fair will be available for further purchases to be made on Thursday. 

Please try to ensure that your child has suitable clothing for the weather. They should now have indoor shoes in school and have snow pants, hat and gloves available when necessary. A lot of shoes and clothing continue to be mislaid or lost. It would be helpful if you could ensure that your child's name is on all their belongings to prevent the loss of costly items, especially as many children have the same or similar clothing. 

Finally, please enjoy a wonderful break with your families.
