Term 2 Report Cards are released today with Parent Meetings set for the afternoon of Thursday, March 20th, 2025.  Appointment reminders are delivered in your email and included in the Report Card envelope.

To provide time for Parent Meetings, on Thursday, March 20th, classes will end at 10:45 AM with buses set to leave at 10:55 AM.  We will start the day at 8:15 AM as usual and students will have access to the breakfast program.  There will not be a recess break as classes will run until 10:45 AM followed by a homeroom period and bus departures at 10:55 AM.

As you are aware, a Scholastic Book Fair is on in our Library Learning Commons this week.  Students may continue to purchase books tomorrow morning and on Friday morning as well.  Parents are also invited to browse and shop while at the school for Parent Meetings.  We sincerely appreciate your support for this event!

Please note that we have a significant number of items in our lost and found. These items will be on display outside of the Library Learning Commons tomorrow during Parent Meetings. Feel free to take a look and see if there is anything that looks familiar.

Parents are reminded that school opens and classes begin at 8:15 AM each day and there is an expectation that children be in their classes as soon as possible after that time.  The mornings are busy with readiness for a busy day of learning, breakfast and lunch order drop-off.  Attendance is taken within the first 10 minutes of opening so if your child is missing they cannot be marked as present.

As we monitor our drop-off lane in the morning, it seems to take longer and longer each day.  We encourage all our students to ride the school bus if it is possible.  They all have assigned seats and while many get dropped off in the morning, they take the bus home at the end of the day.  If you feel that a ride to school is essential, please kiss and hug before leaving home and have children ready to exit your vehicle from the passenger side while in our drop-off lane.  This will make things move a little smoother on a busy morning and a little faster for everyone.
