Student-Led Open House – as this is an Open House, families do not need to register to attend.  Reminder: students attend with their family  Our Student-Led Open House will be an opportunity for students to take the lead on sharing evidence of their learning, sharing their areas of strength and accomplishments, discussing next steps and setting their own learning targets. 

As this is an Open House, you are able to attend at anytime between 4:00pm - 5:30pm. Your time at the school can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes.  It is an important time to spend with your child.  The teacher will be there to celebrate your child’s learning.  As this is an Open House, teachers will not be able to have individual conversations with parents/guardians regarding their child’s progress during this time.  We look forward to seeing you!  School Council Bottle Drive – Postponed   Due to the Extreme Cold Weather warning this coming Saturday, we have had to postpone this weekend's playground bottle drive fundraiser until Sunday, January 21 from 10am to 2pm. Unfortunately, another community organization will be going door-to-door on Saturday, January 20 so hopefully, students and families can try and pick up bottles prior to the weekend when the weather is warmer.  We hope that students and families will still be able to help us out for this event. We still need parent/student volunteers to help pick up bottles.
