Dear Families,
Happy New Year! I hope this year brings you health and
happiness.
I know that you are all very busy trying to get back
into routine so here are some important updates.
·
Thank you to those of you who have signed up for Parent
Teacher Interviews. I would really appreciate it if you can fill out the
‘Interview Sheet Questions’ prior to coming to the meetings as this allows
for me to obtain informative comments about your child’s progress to add to
the report card. If you have not signed up for an interview please call
Sandie and do so. I have a few openings for January but am already booking
into February.
·
Keep up with submitting your child’s work. I am very impressed
with the progress students are making in their studies. If you need more
L.A., math, social or science submission forms please see Sandie or e-mail
me and I can place them in your child’s file.
·
Don’t forget to sign up for camps next week. We have Ancient
Athens which will cover some grade 6 objectives, Berenstain Bears and
Reviving the Renaissance which will cover Grade 8 social objectives to name
but a few camps.
·
Also if you are in Junior High and looking at gaining some
credits before registering for High School we have a Financial course
starting next week. If you have any questions as to how the Credit courses
work for Junior High students please contact me.
·
Don’t forget that Wednesday will be teen day. This week we
have a Youth in Action class which will involve teens taking on an important
project to help save the world! This project can help contribute to outcomes
for Health and Optional Courses.
I look forward to seeing many of you this coming week.
Happy Learning!
