Congratulations on a great production today during the Haunted Class. The colouring & photo station, touring and shadow performances were all wonderfully done! Thank you to our parent volunteers for your support !!!
Note: For those who be going out tonight have a great and safe time trick-or-treating tonight. Please do not bring in any 'treats' to share with friends Monday. The food policy is still in effect and we need to respect that. Save your 'sweet tooth' for times outside of the school day. For those who will not be out tonight, enjoy your time with family and friends!
Tomorrow: Dress for Success and appropriate for the weather. Bring a litter-less lunch!
The students in Room 204 will be hosting the Haunted Class and Shadow Performances throughout the day tomorrow. Students will also be overseeing the photo booth and the colouring station in the hallway. Our school community is looking forward to a great day of entertainment. Parent volunteers for the morning, afternoon or both are welcome to support in supervising students.

Students' Individual Educational Plan (IEP) will be distributed next week. Our apologies as the system locked out my access and details that were inputted earlier this year were deleted. Having just received access, I am working towards having them completed in the next few days. Please note: the IEP is a working document outlining what will be done to meet the needs of a student (does not cover the day-to-day details of what happens in a classroom). It is a living document that is open to discussion, consultation and updating as growth/needs change. Your ongoing support and patience has been and continues to be appreciated.
