Good afternoon,

It was a pleasure getting to know your children today. I am very excited that they are my students.

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

Friday, September 11 is spirit day. Please wear house colours (orange, blue, or green)!! GO KAPPA GO!!

SJS WELCOME BACK BBQ will take place on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 from 4:00 – 7:00 PM.

Pizza lunch will be served the first week of school. Each slice will cost $2.00. September lunch forms are due back TOMORROW Friday, September 11 with NO EXCEPTIONS!

Just a reminder to send your children to school in their gym uniform. They will change into their school day uniform after gym. They also need to have outdoor shoes, black shoes, and gym shoes. Black shoes and gym shoes can stay overnight. All school bags can be put on their hooks upon arrival at SJA, so the gym does not get overcrowded with school bags. Also if you could have your children put their agendas in the agenda box inside the classroom it would help speed things up!

The gym door is to be used before school and after school. After 8:50 that door will be locked and you will have to enter through the front of the building. The ‘kiss and ride’ program is in full swing. It’s a great way to pick up your children and saves you from having to park and come into the school!

Today was a busy day. They spent their morning in gym, art, and French. In the afternoon we began DRA (our reading assessments) and they worked on a cumulative math review. Please note that tomorrow, Friday September 11, they will be given their first of 5 math assessments. This is only a pre-assessment to see what I need to focus on. At the end of this unit will be their pre-assessment. We also had time to continue working on our self-portraits.

Have a lovely evening.
