duotangs for ½ scribblers and assessment scribblers for your child. We will label them accordingly.

Please label your child’s jackets, boots, sneakers, and backpack. We see lots of duplicates in the school and, if there is no name, we

cannot track the item down easily and the item(s) will end up in the Lost and Found.

We are excited to be implementing an approach to reading instruction called “UFLI”.  This approach provides the scope and sequence required to strengthen decoding and linguistic comprehension to maximize reading comprehension. We are using it in grade primary and one this year and will be rolling it out for whole class instruction in grade two next year. We are also using it in the upper grades for small group instruction to improve decoding skills. Our students will be able to better make meaning of text.
