March came in with the return of cold weather. Although the mornings have been cold, the students have been able to get some fresh air in the afternoons for a few minutes of play time. Please remember that supervisors come outside at 8:35 am. You still have time to fill out the below two surveys which will help us plan for next year.
Thank you to all the families who have already submitted their feedback. If you haven’t yet, we kindly ask you that you fill both out as this information really helps us plan for the upcoming school year. Both surveys are very short, and we thank you for taking them time to provide us with this valuable information. Survey 1: Will Your Child be Returning to Alex Munro School Survey:
To help us with enrolment planning we are asking all families to complete this survey to indicate if you plan to return to Alex Munro School or not. Please take the time to let us know your plans as this helps immensely in school planning for the coming year. Thanks for your help. Survey 2: School Planning Engagement Survey:
We make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we ask you to share your perspectives about our school development plan, budget, and fees. At tonight's parent council meeting we presented our budget and school development plan and have asked parents to provide us with feedback by completing a 5 min survey. We are also inviting all parents to complete the survey regardless of your attendance at tonight's meeting. - The survey is open from March 4 to March 22.

K-6 Parent-teacher Conferences will be held Friday, March 22 from 8am – 4pm, in person. Kindergarten conferences will also be held on Thursday, March 21. Parents/guardians can book a 15-minute slot with their teacher starting on Saturday, March 16 at 8:00 am through your PowerSchool MyCBE Account.
Safety and Traffic Reminders
Thank-you for your care and attention to the safety of all of our students and staff in and around the school each day. Please use the designated crosswalks when crossing with students – crossing between cars or around busses reduces visibility and increases risk for injury. We have had few calls about jaywalking in front of the school. A reminder that there is no parent drop off or pick up of students in the staff parking lot. Families must use street parking around the school. Please note the no stopping zone in front of the school. Please do not stop here. This area is for safe pedestrian traffic and bus parking. We will have a school bus and two daycare busses that need to safely load and unload students in this space. Free Parent Education Program
Hull Family Services is pleased to offer a free parent education program that will run on Wednesday evenings April 17 to June 5 from 6-8pm. The course focuses on teaching effective parenting skills, coupled with a children’s social skills group. The children’s group will focus on social skills such as how to listen, how to accept no/disappointment, how to express their feelings and how to deal with being angry/frustrated. The topics for the parent/caregivers group include creating conditions for positive behaviours, reducing conflict, managing transitions successfully as well as providing consequences for serious behaviour.
