Reminders
Some important medical information for Grade 3/4 Camp was recently sent home. Please complete and return the forms by Friday the 14th of August (Week 5). If you haven’t received this information, please contact your child’s teacher.
TOYS! We have had a number of students bringing toys to school lately. They often become a distraction during class and can reduce students' focus on learning. We ask that you please support and encourage your child to keep their special items safely at home.
- We are also on the look out for shoe boxes that can be used by students during their upcoming projects in Topic. Please bring along any boxes you have to spare.
What we have been up to
