Change of schedule

Well, it seems that the flu bug has bitten Carrie.  She was planning to come to work at our school on Friday which was changed to today due to a meeting.  Then the flu bug bit when she was planning to come today.  Once I know what her new schedule is, I will post it here to keep you in the loop.

I was outside at noon today enjoying the sunshine and fresh air and noticed MANY of our students out without scarves or neck tubes.  There were even a few without ski pants.  I was bundled up well and really enjoyed myself, but those students who were not bundled were quite chilly.  Please help your children remember all their winter gear when they head out in the morning.

Keep shovelling, spring is coming!

Coming events

Wow, Thursday already.   I am away tomorrow as it is Friday but Carrie Thomson will be out to work with our students who are on the speech and language caseload.

Mrs. Burzynski, Mrs. Clark and I have been busy this week planning our second annual Family Literacy Night for grade 1-3 students and their families.  I hope you are able to join us for ANIMALS ON THE LOOSE on Tuesday, January 25th.  A note will be coming home with your grade 1-3 child early next week.

Stay warm!

Digging Out

Wow, what a fun way to start the week!  The students have been enjoying the deep snow on the hill for the past two days, what a delightful sight.

Our second session of OSR started yesterday - feel free to ask your child who their new leader is and what session they are in.  I am really enjoying the return to a 9:00 start and I think the students are too - we are all more energized at the beginning of the day!

Carol Harbin will be at the school tomorrow to work with a few students. 

Grade 1-3 parents look for news in the Monday Memo on the Family Literacy Activities which will take place after school and into the evening of Jan. 25th.

Welcome 2011

I hope you all enjoyed family and friends over the Christmas holiday.  It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm of students when they shared their news with one another this morning.

Today is the beginning of a new timetable which impacts the EA's and myself in several areas.  If you have questions about what the new schedule will be, please contact me at my email address.

Carrie Thomson, SLP, will be at the school tomorrow, January 4th to work with students.

The next OSR session begins on January 10th - OSR will return to the morning time slot of 9:00 - 9:25.
