Dear Parent and
Guardians,
Happy December!
Hard to believe the first 3 months of school are over. This is a busy month;
there will be a lot of fun activities and learning. I will be sure to keep
everyone updated on upcoming events.
Reminders:
Book Order:
December book orders are due back this
Friday (December 7th). I want to get them in early so they will
arrive before Christmas break. You can submit orders to me or online through
our classroom.
Show what you know binder:
Students will be gathering things for
their show what you know binders and they will be sent home this week. Please
look through it with your child, sign it and send it back.
OURSchool
Survey
-
Over the next week our Grade 4 and 5 students will be participating
in a school student perception survey to share with us their
thoughts about MAS. The survey measures 21 indicators based on most
recent research on school and classroom effectiveness.
Christmas
Angel Tree-
Starting on December 5th we will have our Christmas angel
tree up in our front entrance. Please stop by and take an angel or two to
support our families this Christmas. When you select an angel please stop by
the office and let Roxy know your angel number, so we can keep track who
is responsible for what gifts. You may also call in and ask Roxy to select an
angel for you to send home with your child if you can't stop by. When you
return the gift we ask that it come back wrapped with the angel tree tag
attached to the gift.
DOTS for Kids
Day- Ring a Bell Campaign-
On December 7th we will participate
in the ring a bell campaign to raise awareness and increase
education to inspire youth, family, and communities to take
positive actions in support of children's mental health. If your child
has a little bell that they would like to bring on Friday to join
in and ring, please send it along.
