January - Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Christmas Break and had many opportunities to spend time with family, take time to relax, and just have time to do some of your favourite things.  

Personally, I made the most of the break and even had time to read a few books.  That being said, I am looking forward to getting back into routine and seeing all of the students and hearing about their breaks. Hopefully the students are all rejuvenated and are ready to get back into the rigor of learning.  January is a great month to really work on improving work habits and putting extra effort into their school work.

Bell Let's Talk ~ 

Wednesday, January 30th is Bell Let's Talk Day.  Break the silence. Mental illness touches us all in some way directly or through a friend, family member or colleague. Stories of people who have experienced mental health issues and who are doing well can really challenge stereotypes. Most people with mental health issues can and do recover, just by talking about it.

More information about the Let's Talk initiative can be found at https://letstalk.bell.ca/en/our-initiatives/.

Gr. 3-6 Skiing ~ 

The Gr. 3-6 students will once again be hitting the slopes of Rabbit Hill on Thursday, January 31.  Everyone had a wonderful time in December so I hope the conditions are favorable again this time so everyone can have a great experience again.

Report Cards ~

Report cards will be going out on Thursday, January 31st.  Marks are live throughout the year but in order to prepare for printing the report cards we will have to disable PowerSchool marks the week prior to printing starting on Monday, January 14th.  

If you have any questions or concerns about your child's marks, please feel free to contact your child's teacher.
