November 2021

November is a very busy month for student and teacher learning at
Hubbard! Please see the important dates on the calendar.
Report Cards and Keeping You Informed! Report cards are being sent home on November 29th this year, and teachers are busy assessing skills and next steps for students. Our interviews will be held virtually or by phone again this year due to COVID 19 restrictions. Please look for a notice coming home this month with your child, regarding appointment times. Please also be sure to bring any concerns you have to our attention. We want to make sure that every child is represented with an interview this term to build on the rest of the year. Please respond to the communication. In addition to a continued focus on social-emotional learning, our school improvement plan targets work stamina and basic fact fluency in math. While we don’t have a lot of homework, your help with practice is so important!
Remembrance Day: Our Remembrance Day Assembly, like others, will be virtual this year. We are recording segments for a clip that will be viewed on November 10th. On November 10th, we ask students to wear red and encourage uniform wearing for any civic group to which they belong (Cubs, Scouts, Guides, Brownies, Cadets). We hope to post our virtual assembly to our school youtube channel. Thank you to our military family members who have and continue to make sacrifices for our freedoms.
News from the Gym: Soccer Intramurals are happening in the gym or outside this month and they will take place in classroom groups. Our Cross Country was a huge success in October. Congratulations to our grade level finalists. Thank you to our Phys. Ed teacher Mrs. Hickey and to our Wednesday morning Phys. Ed teacher, Mme Muise for their hard work. Please remember to have your child prepared with both indoor and outdoor footwear for gym. We are going outside as much as possible and warm clothes are needed!
Mask Wearing: It is imperative that your child remembers and wears their masks daily. A number of students are coming to school forgetting them and we do have only limited supplies of extras. Please make sure that they are prepared for the day and keep safety of themselves and others in mind.
BRRRR… It’s getting cold outside and students require warm clothes, outdoor gear and mittens in preparation for our cold Canadian Winters! We have a small selection of extra mittens, with thanks to Marilyn MacDonald and Wilma Gosse who have knit these for us. Thank you!
Be Informed: Parents and guardians are asked to keep up to date with messages that may be sent home electronically regarding the current CUPE negotiations. Any impact to our school’s teaching and learning situation, or transportation will be communicated. A message was sent recently. This may impact events at Hubbard as a precaution.
Reminder NO SCHOOL for students on:
November 11 (Statutory Holiday for Remembrance Day)
November 19 (Professional Learning for teachers)
December 03 (Professional Learning & Parent Teacher Interviews)

Our Halloween Activities were a real hit this week. In addition to your donations for Halloween, a special shout out to MULDER’S MEATS, MACDONALDS RESTAURANT, GIANT TIGER, OROMOCTO FIRST NATION GAS BAR & parents who helped to decorate, pick up treats, and cook the Halloweenies. Your PSSC made $485.00 from the sales which was used to purchase additional treats for the games stations. Thank you!

Ongoing Safety in the Parking Areas Please do everything you can to make our passenger zone safe for your children. Slow down, pass only if it is safe and not too congested. Watch both sides of your lane where passing can happen, and never pull into the lane by the front doors requiring you to then back out. Following the flow of traffic and allowing for ample time is safest. The side parking lot is available if you need to park and get out and pick up your child. One close call is too many when accidents are avoidable. Thanks!
