From Mrs. Meechan:
We’re getting closer to setting up the weekly COVID surveillance testing. You’ll receive a separate email in the next week or so asking for consent for your student to participate. It’s optional and we will not test without your permission.
Remember that parent-teacher conferences are next week (dismissal time is 12:00/12:10). I hope you’ve signed up for a meeting through the email you received last week. These are such valuable conferences that offer you the perfect opportunity to support your student through teaming with their teacher!
Thank you Jessica Martin for bringing amazing performing arts to our students! On Monday we had an outdoor assembly by a group that performed on marimbas (percussion instruments originated from Africa) and our students LOVED it. Check out this video. Ms. Jessica will be bringing more diverse art experiences to our students throughout the school year.

This time has usually be used for family trips, but this year also includes days that students are quarantined. As you can imagine, this has happened already and will continue to happen. Please plan family trips during school holidays to avoid going over the limit.
