December 2, 2025

In advance of the stormy weather expected tomorrow, Report Cards are released today and will be in book bags at the end of the day.

Parent meetings are set for the afternoon of Thursday, December 4th, 2025, and available through School Appointments Online.  If you have not already done so, please follow the instructions attached in your email to register and book a meeting time with your child’s teacher.

In cases where an appointment was not booked by you, your child’s teacher has set one.  Please check the time of your scheduled appointment on the appointment reminder (printed on violet paper) included in the Report Card envelope.

To accommodate the Parent Meetings set for Thursday, December 4th, classes will end at 10:45 AM on that day with bus departures set for 10:55 AM.  There will not be a Recess Break and there are no food services on Thursday, December 4th, 2025.

As you are aware, an election for School Council parent representation is taking place during the time set aside for Parent Meetings on Thursday, December 4th, 2025.  This is your opportunity to vote for the representative of your choice.

Included in the Report Card envelope is a memorandum (printed on yellow paper) and a Holiday Skate Consent Form (printed on green paper).  These are also attached in email today.  Please note that in our yellow memo, I mentioned that classes end at 12:50 PM on Friday, December 19th.  This is an error.  Classes end at 12:30 with buses set to leave at 12:40 PM on that day.  This mistake is corrected in the memo attached today.

As noted in the yellow memo, we are seeking volunteers to assist with our annual Holiday Meal on December 16th.  If you can help us with this event, please complete our volunteer registration form HERE.

Also attached to your email today is the AHE Countdown to the Holidays.  Please use this to guide your child’s participation starting on Monday, December 8th, 2025.
