Report cards are being sent home on Wednesday February 10^th for students in Grades 1-8 and Junior Kindergarten.

Students in SK will receive their report card in June 2016.

Remember that this Friday February 12^th is a PA Day and the school will be closed to students. 

A large group turned out for the At Home Alone workshop that was held in January. Feedback from parents was very positive – that they learned a lot about safety at home, and that their kids had a great time too.

Due to demand, we are going to offer another At Home Alone workshop for anyone who missed out.

Details are as follows:
Date: April 12, 2016
Time: 4-7 pm
Place: Library

You may RSVP to leslie.tumangday@tdsb.on.ca if you wish to attend.

Thanks everyone for supporting this community event!

Dear Friends – we have not yet been matched with a Syrian family, but
expect that this will happen sometime very soon.

Though we don’t yet know the make up of the family (number of potential
children, age, etc.), we are beginning to collect basic household items.
We also don’t know when the family will be arriving, so at this point, we
cannot store any items.  Anything which you are willing to donate, we need
you to hold onto unto we have a clearer sense of when the family will
arrive.

We will also add items once we know the composition of the family, so
please check back once that announcement has been made.

Please go to the link below to check out what we need and to add your name.

As always, we thank you for your kind support.
