Weekly Update: November 14, 2014

Hello Robina Baker Families,

Well that was one very short, but extremely busy week.  A lot was packed into those three days. A travelling art show arrived at our school. All classes will be able to have the opportunity to view the art work. One piece will be used to write a continuous story that will move through each of the classrooms.

We have started a new theme this month for assemblies. We are working on RESPONSIBILITY. The students watched a video clip and then had a great discussion with Mrs. Mullen. They worked on some responsibility badges that are posted on the bulletin board outside the main foyer by the stairs. The grade four students are starting a series of mini workshops with our school CAP team during assembly times and are working through a variety of age pertinent topics.


Congratulations to our students of the week! Since we had two short weeks in a row, these students were selected to represent those weeks.


Upcoming Week REMINDERS and information:

Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes are due on Thursday, November 20. There are still shoe boxes available in the office if you haven't had time to pick one up yet.


The Cross Country Team had group photos last week and all certificates will be handed out during the Friday, November 21 assembly. Please plan to attend if you would like to participate in this celebration with your child. The presentation will happen immediately after student of the week awards are handed out.


Our PAC (school council) meeting is being held on Tuesday, November 18th at 9:00 am in the staff room. All parents are welcome to attend.

Please chat with your child:

Since the beginning of the school year there have been issues in both the boys and girls bathrooms. We have tried a number of strategies to teach and model for the students what appropriate bathroom behaviour is. Unfortunately, we are still having instances of paper towel being thrown in the toilets, whole rolls of toilet paper being removed and put into the toilet as well as students not flushing. We would appreciate if you could reiterate this message with your child as it is causing problems at least once a day where a toilet gets plugged and then is out of order until the situation can be handled. Thank you so much for your help.



Have a great week,
