“Andnowletus

welcomethenewyear,fullofthingsthatneverwere.”—RainerMariaRilke

First Week of September We want to remind all families that the first week back in September students will return to their “old” classrooms. Teachers will be looking as student numbers, class size, composition and new student numbers and needs during that first week to make the best educational decisions for classes. Students will be working that week on Code of Conduct and leadership projects that assist in developing school expectations. The revisiting of these concepts are essential for re-establishing community social norms. Students will be placed in classes by Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2018. All new Gr. 4 Annex students will be in the Multi-purpose room for the first week of school working with one of our resource teachers and our prep teacher. All Gr. 1s (our current Ks) will be in the Library starting on the WEDNESDAY, Sept. 5 with our Librarian and a resource teacher.
