Hello Robina Families,
Fall is definitely upon us. The leaves have really changed over the last couple of days. Please read the following weekly update carefully as there are a number of important informational items.
MEET THE STAFF ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17
***IMPORTANT NOTICE OF CHANGE FOR MEET THE STAFF EVENT:
Due to a conflict in time with the Riverview Awards night, our Meet the Staff event will be open to parents and public from 5:00 - 7:00. We will not be dividing up our evening as originally planned and this will allow families that have children in both schools to attend the two events.
KANGA POUCHES
All students who are new to our school and / or starting Kindergarten receive a complimentary Kanga Pouch / Book Bag. These bags are passed on year to year for each student and when they leave in grade 4 they take them home with them. These are a great organizational tool for the student, parent and the classroom. If your child has lost theirs, they can choose to have a used one for free or purchase a new one at the replacement cost of $9.00.
FIELD TRIP FORMS
There are currently a number of field trips that have been posted to Power School. Please make sure field trip forms are filled out in advance of these events to avoid chaos on the day of the field trip or event. If you need help logging in, please contact Cheryl or Maureen in the office - 780-987-3705 and they will be happy to assist you.
ASSEMBLIES
On Friday, we started on the theme of respect. Our assemblies are divided up differently this year to accommodate some of the curriculum we would like to teach. On Tuesday mornings from 9:40 - 10:10 the grade 3s & 4s come to the gym for a short mini assembly and the the Grade 1s & 2s come on Wednesday mornings for the same time frame. We will still have our K-4 Friday assemblies beginning at 8:45 to do student of the week and to bring together the learning of the week. These assemblies will be finished by 9:40.
Students will learn the majority of their health curriculum during this time as well as have movement activity breaks and learn to work together as a school community. In the smaller weekly assemblies the students will work on the concepts at a more age appropriate level. The Friday assemblies will allow for celebrations, guest speakers and class or individual presentations. Parents are always welcome to attend assemblies.
This week we read the book: Respect is Correct as part of our introduction to the RESPECT theme.
