Please ensure that all students are photo-ready on the morning of April 20th, as we will have our class photos. All students should come to school wearing their full uniform, including sweaters and all-black school shoes. Please ensure that no additional non-uniform items are worn. Consult the uniform section of the parent handbook or the school website for more information.
Show and Share
Beginning Monday, April 13th, we will be changing the focus of our Show and Share on Special Helper days. Rather than bringing a toy or special object, the students will have the opportunity to be the “teacher” for a few minutes. Some ideas for this may include:
Sharing facts they know about a favourite animal, sports team or place they like to visit
Teaching the class how to play a game
Teaching the class how to make something
Reading a short story to the class
It must be something that can be done within the classroom and take no longer than 15 minutes. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.
PLANNING FOR THE ACADEMIC NEW YEAR
As we approach the end of the academic year, the kindergarten team will begin planning for our incoming group of Kindergarten students. To help welcome our new group of Kindies, we will be hosting a ‘Looking Ahead Day’ on Tuesday, May 19th. On this day, our new students will have the opportunity to come to class to experience life as a Kindergarten student. This means that our current classes will have the day off (all other grades will be in session as usual). Since this date comes immediately after the Victoria Day long weekend, this provides an opportunity for current Kindie families to have an extra-long weekend! Enjoy!
I’M A GIFT FROM GOD
The I’m a Gift from God program is designed to be integrated with the existing religious education program. It is intended that the home, school and parish combine their efforts to protect the dignity and worth of God’s children. A letter will be sent home soon in your child’s planner describing the program in more detail.
