The annual Foundation Skills Assessment for Grade 4 & 7 students will be taking place over the next couple weeks. The student will be working on the tests from about 45 minutes to up to 2 hours for 5-6 days over the next two weeks. The first Reading Comprehension section was completed today. We will be continuing tomorrow and Friday. (No testing Thursday).

Thursday, Feb. 5 is Photo Retake Day. If you were unhappy with your child’s photo, just return the photos on Thursday and they can have their photo retaken and the package will be replaced for free. You MUST return the full original package to have them replaced for free.

If your child was away on the original day, you can also get first time photos as well.

Package forms are available at the Office.

I forgot to send home permission forms today with the class. We will be skating with our kindergarten buddies Friday afternoon. The permission forms will be coming home Thursday, please and return them with your child Friday morning. Verbal permission is not allowed, due to the School Board deems skating as “high risk.”

HELMETS ARE MANDATORY! Students will not be allowed on the ice without them. Bike helmets are acceptable. Gloves are also very important – to protect fingers from other skates if a child falls on the ice.

If your child does not have skates, they can rent them for $2.75.

Sorry for the very late notice of the activity.  Mrs. Wadhams spoke to me about it last week and it totally slipped my mind until Wednesday night.

The Grade 7 classes are hosting a Bake Sale tomorrow (Thursday, Jan. 29) to raise money for their Victoria Trip. Everything is priced at $1. The sale will be located outside the office.
