...weekly bulletin...

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Checkpoint meetings next week. If you have not signed up yet, please do so as soon as possible. At this point in the school year, we have a good understanding of progress made and areas for further growth. February Progress Reports will be coming home with the boys on Monday. These along with the recent IPP or IDP and Midterm Exam Mark Statements (if applicable) ought provide much to discuss. Please feel free to bring any of these recent documents for further discussion. If you feel the time provided is not enough, feel free to coordinate another time to continue the conversation with the appropriate teacher.

We were fortunate this week to have the team from I Got Mind in the building to work directly with our students on breaking bad habits and forming good ones.

We were also happy that our grade 3 to 6 boys were able to attend the Be Brave Hitmen Game on Wednesday that coincided with Pink Shirt Day and provided us a number of opportunities to reinforce the importance of kindness and acceptance.

We are excited to take the 5/6, 6 and both 7 classes to the Tennis Centre on Friday, March 3.

Tuesday will be Townhall for February and we look forward to looking back at all the great things we accomplished this month.
