Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parent/Teacher Conferences will take place in person at the school on Thursday, November 27 from 3:30pm - 7:30pm and Friday, November 28 from 8:00am to 12:00pm.

Parents will book conference times through their CBE account. Conference bookings will open on Saturday, November 22 at 8:00am and closes on Thursday, November 27 at 2:00pm. 

If parents require support with bookings, they can call the office.  

Kindergarten Conferences will be held at the times above as well as Thursday, November 27 from 8am-12pm. There are no kindergarten classes on either Thursday the 27 or Friday the 28. There is no school for students in grades 1-4 on Friday, November 28 due to conferences. 

This will give families an opportunity to sign IPP's and Behaviour Support Plans.

These conferences are the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and to provide teachers with information about your child that is important. Teachers will inform you on how your child is adapting to and settling into the new school year but, due to the minimal amount of time spent in school thus far, will not provide information on student learning or achievement. 


Fun Lunch

The next Fun Lunch will be held on Wednesday November 26.

Fun Lunch is only for grades 1-4 and our EES students. 

  • Go to healthyhunger.ca
  • Log into you existing account or create a new one.
  • Add your child’s information in the “add child” box – name, province, city, school, grade and class.
  • All Fun Lunches will then populate – select the order now button!

Please make sure to send a morning snack with your child on Fun Lunch Days. Orders must be placed by the Friday before the day.

 Thank you to all the parents who joined us Thursday evening for our Open House. It was lovely to meet many new parents and great to see some familiar faces too. Students enjoyed sharing their "Me Museum" with those who came.  Looking ahead: Library book exchange will take place on Tuesdays. Students are able to take out two books and are encouraged to leave one of them at school so that they always have something here to read. They are also welcome to borrow books from our classroom library, and to bring books from home as well.  Here are some highlights from our week that you can ask your child more details about: - relating time to fractions - telling time on an analog clock - coding - Terry Fox Run - Writing from the perspective of Terry Fox's shoe - Me Museum - Letter to my teacher - observing the signs of fall - sharing circles - drawing Terry Fox with our buddies - 1-100 group task
