A reminder that tomorrow is a professional learning day for teachers and there is no school for students. Students Staying on the School Grounds Immediately After School
Now that the weather is warmer please remind your child(ren) of our policy that students need to go directly home after school and to check in with a parent at home before returning to the school grounds, if they wish to play with their friends after school hours. If a parent is at the school picking up their child, then they may stay to play. The reason for this is to have a consistent policy to ensure all families know where their children are after school hours. This policy also helps to ensure that students who need to get on the bus or meet their after-school childcare supervisor are doing it in a timely manner. Thank you for your support with this policy. Grade 4 Students and Parents | AB Education Assurance Survey
Every year, AB Education surveys students, their parents and all teachers on behalf of schools and school authorities to assess what is working well and where there is room for improvement. The survey asks students in grades 4, 7, 10, and their parents about their thoughts, feelings and experiences in school. The survey will be administered to grade 4 students in March 2025. Grade 4 parents should have received an email with the survey information as well. Please contact Mr. Belcher or Ms. Sasha if you have any questions. You can also access the information sheet by clicking on this link: Assurance Survey Parent Letter 2025.pdf . Gymnastics | Wear Appropriate Attire
Students have been enjoying the Canadian Climber and some of the higher ladders and balances. Next week students will enjoy a Mission Impossible style obstacle course. Please ensure all students are jewellery free, with hair tied back, and wear loose clothing. Students will be wearing bare feet and/or running shoes.
