Well done on reaching the time when you can now enjoy a well deserved break. Please take time to enjoy the things you enjoy doing!
Today you should have received your child’s Progress Report for the first quarter of the school year. This is a summary of achievement and effort. Please talk to your child(ren) about these reports, and take the time to celebrate accomplishments as well as discuss next steps for ongoing learning.
After the October break you will receive a Newsflash with sign up information for 3 Way Conferences, which will take place the 2nd week back in November. These meetings occur between the student, parent and teacher, and will focus on student strengths and goals thus far in the year. It’s a great way to promote the teamwork between us that supports student achievement. Be sure to keep your eyes open for that sign up the first day back after holidays.
Today we finished with a different kind of House Competition. Instead of our usual sports activities, students planned and led an activity commonly known as ‘family feuds’. In their teams, they competed to answer a variety of different questions. It was great fun and an excellent way to finish before the holiday.
I wish all of our families a great holiday!
