Week Ahead- Nov 18-22

PARENT AND STUDENT CONFERENCES


We are hosting conferences next week. Most will take place
on the evenings of November 20th and 21st.  Your child’s teacher
should have already made contact with you to organize a meeting time.
Please book an appointment, as this is an excellent opportunity to
discuss strengths and areas of growth for your child.


Report Cards are emailed on January 31st.  We will also host another
meeting night in the spring.  Please access the PowerSchool Parent
Portal to keep up to date on your child’s progress, especially before
meeting with the teacher.  Our school’s fully detailed Assessment Plan
can be found on our school website or by following this link. 
We look forward to seeing you next week. 


EMERGENCY ALERT TEST


Black Gold is testing their emergency alert system on Monday,
November 18th.  Do not be alarmed, this is only a test of the system.
You should be getting a text alert on your phone. 


BOOK FAIR

We are having a Book Fair all next week. Students will visit during
regular library period and parents are welcome to come after school.

LOST AND FOUND

Please stop by and claim any lost items. They will be out for the week
and we will be donated any unclaimed items.

DIVERSITY DISPLAY


We are developing a permanent diversity display on Main Street. 
We are looking for some help and donations. We want to celebrate
the growing diversity of our school community.


We are looking for families to send us a greeting in their cultural language. 
Please use this form to help us out.  


We are also looking for picture frames of all sizes and shapes. 
The more unique the better. We want to be able to display different
items and pictures. We are also looking for an antique/unique mirror
as well.  Please let Mme. El-Khatib know if you have anything you can donate.

Thank you in advance.
