There is no school for students tomorrow and Friday due to the teachers’ convention, as well as Monday, Feb 16 for Family Day.  As Family Day approaches, let's take a moment to reflect on the important role families play in raising secure and confident students. Family Day is more than just a day off; it's a cherished opportunity to prioritize what truly matters – our loved ones. Wishing you all a joyful and memorable Family Day doing something your family enjoys the most! 
 
AMPA Hosted Family Friendship Dance | Feb 19 | 6:00 – 8:00 pm 
AMPA has planned a fantastic family night out for families to celebrate friendships on Feb 19 from 6-8pm.  The first 30mins of the dance (6:00-6:30 pm) will be sensory friendly with lower volume music and regular lighting. Snacks and juice will be available for purchase. Parents are required to attend with their children.  Due to liability requirements, students without parental supervision will not be allowed to attend the dance. 

Fun Lunch – Subway – Feb 17 
Our next fun lunch will be Subway on Feb 17.  Orders can be made at www.healthyhunger.ca. The deadline to order is next Thursday, Feb 12 at 11:59pm 
. 
Toys, Cards (Pokémon), Fidget Tools, and Key Chains (3D printed toys)  
Recently, there has been an increase in personal toys/items being brought to school by students. Bringing personal items to school often creates a distraction to the learning environment and can lead to peer conflict.  Please support our teachers and staff by ensuring that your children are not bringing personal items to school.  If any personal items are required for projects or classroom learning, the teachers will communicate this through email or their Google classrooms. If sensory or fidget tools are required as an accommodation for learning, the teacher will either provide these for your child or will directly consult with you.  Please do not let your child bring in any personal items unless you have been contacted by their teacher. 
 
Lost and Found  
We wanted to let families know that we do have many items in the lost and found. We will be sure to invite students to peruse the lost and found.  You are also welcome to visit the school to see if there are items belonging to your child.  Please come visit the school to look through and claim lost items. The school dance on Feb 19 will also be a great chance to check it out. We recommend labeling all clothing items, especially outer winter wear, to help us return items to their rightful owners.  
 
Report Cards – Feb 24 
Report cards will be available to families via your myCBE/PowerSchool account on February 24. 

Student Progress Updates and Marks Available on PowerSchool 
On top of the two official report cards this year, ongoing assessment information is published on PowerSchool by your child’s teacher and is available to parents for viewing for all core subjects. This gives families timely information about how your child is doing throughout the school year.
