Happy September!

Hello everyone and happy September!

A few notes to start off the year:

1. School Council meets on Wednesday September 20 at 7:00pm at the school. All are welcome.

2. The welcome back barbecue (5pm) and curriculum night (6pm) are on Thursday September 21. Details here.

3. Pizza lunch is on September 27. You may have seen a different date on School Cash Online but it is definitely Sept 27. Orders are only through School Cash Online - there will be no paper orders this year. If you need access to a computer, please stop in at the school office.

As always, there is a group of dedicated School Council volunteers who are working hard behind the scenes to make all of this happen. Thank you!!

Curriculum night

In case you missed the notice over on the school blog: unfortunately curriculum night has been postponed until the work-to-rule situation has been resolved.

Curriculum Night Sept 19

Looking forward to seeing you all at Curriculum Night on September 19. This is a great way to meet the teachers and find out what happens in your child's classroom. The official program begins at 6pm but the school is hosting a barbecue starting at 5pm. See details on the school blog.

There will be signup sheets for anyone who wants to volunteer at school events!

What are they learning?

The school will host a curriculum night on September 19. Details will be on a flyer that will come home soon. 

In the meantime, anyone curious about what's on the Ontario elementary school curriculum can find it here. (A warning: it's not for the faint of heart.)

Curriculum Night

It was great to see so many people at Curriculum Night. I know we all appreciated meeting Mr. McGilvray and Ms. Harroun in person and being introduced/re-introduced to the teachers.

Thanks to:

- the volunteers who organized the BBQ

- Laura, who organized the Kleenex fundraiser

- the book fair folks

- all the teachers who gave their evenings so that we could get to know them and their classrooms

- everyone who signed up to help with a School Council event or fundraiser. The response was terrific! Someone will be in touch with those who signed up, about next steps. Or better yet, come to the School Council meeting next Wednesday (Sept 21) at 7pm to learn more. 

Have a great weekend everyone.
