Spirit Day – Cultural Connections Day 
Cultural Connections Day is a celebration of the diverse identities and traditions within our school community. Students are invited to wear clothing or bring items that hold cultural significance to them or their families on January 17. This is a chance to share stories, artifacts, and traditions that represent their heritage or a part of their cultural identity. Through this day we aim to foster understanding, connection, and appreciation for the rich diversity that makes up our school. 
Student-Led Open House – Kindergarten to Grade 4 – as this is an Open House, families do not need to register to attend.  
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 any time on Thursday, January 23, 2025, between 4:00pm - 5:30pm. Please ensure you arrive by 5:15pm so that you have 15 minutes to learn along side of your child. Your time at the school can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes. It is an important time to spend with your child, so your child needs to be with you. The teacher will be there to celebrate your child’s learning. 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!
The first report card will be posted on your child’s MyCBE/PowerSchool account on January 27, 2025.
