Message from Mme BrookeLearn and Share | School Planning We know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we’ll be sharing information about school planning and asking you to share your perspectives. At the next school council meeting, you will have the opportunity to:
Watch this short video to learn about the planning work schools do to improve and support student learning.
Please join us at the School Council meeting either online or in-person. Wed, Jan 21 6:30 pm Lunch and SnacksAs we settle back into our regular routines after returning from winter break, we have noticed that students are often still hungry after finishing their lunch. To help keep students energized and focused throughout the day, we kindly ask that parents review lunches with their child and determine if more items are needed.
If you are experiencing challenges with food insecurity, please complete the (confidential) form available from this link https://forms.office.com/r/SyvLKTR1rJ
Thank you for your continued support.
Music ShareMusic share is approaching at the end of January and the beginning of February. (See schedule below for times and dates) Music share is an opportunity for your students to show off their own musical talents. This can be playing an instrument, like the piano, or an instrument brought from home, like the violin or guitar. Some students have brought unique instruments to show the class, danced, sang.
PARTICIPATION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY.
Families or guardians are welcome to watch their student share and are encouraged to bring any instrument they might have to share their talent. We do, of course, have a piano and also have a drum kit for students who take drum lessons ONLY.
If your student would like to share, please fill out the form in the link below to let me know what musical talent they will be sharing and the name and composer of any song that they will be singing or dancing to so that we can ensure the lyrics are all school appropriate.
