Thank You to Our Families

Thank you to all the parents and caregivers who took the time to meet with teachers during conferences this past week. Students always benefit when staff and families communicate openly and work together toward common goals. These conversations help us better support each child's learning, growth, and well-being.A second thank you goes to everyone who attended Tuesday's PAC meeting. It was wonderful to see so many families engaged in planning for the year ahead. The PAC selected several exciting events for our school community, and we are looking forward to the first of these: our Halloween Movie Night on October 30.

Parking Reminder

Please do not park in the staff parking lot, even if it is only for a few minutes during drop-off or pick-up. When a staff member arrives and there are no available spaces, they must park on the surrounding streets. This can create challenges for our neighbours and causes staff to lose valuable time as they prepare for the day and get ready to teach our children. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping the staff parking lot available for staff members.

Thank you for your continued support of our school community. Working together, we create the best possible learning environment for our students.

Have a wonderful week ahead and a happy Thanksgiving.
