8:40

Students are asked to line-up in their houses at 8:45 a.m. Once students are lined up, opening exercises begin. Please bring your children to school by 8:40 am to ensure that they have enough time to hang their coats, change their shoes and put away their backpacks. Thanks for your support.

Skateboard and Scooter Day

This Wednesday, we will be learning "sk" and "sc" blends. To help us remember these sounds, we will be doing a couple of activities with scooters. On Wednesday, please bring your skateboard or scooter to school. Don't forget your helmet! If you have a spare skateboard or scooter and are willing to share, please bring it as well for someone who may not have one.

Happy Birthday to those who celebrated a birthday in January:

Alex, Larissa and Erick!
