Report Cards Went Home
We were excited to be providing a common district electronic report card this year! On Thursday, January 31 the Grade 1-4 families received an email with a link to their child's report card. Kindergarten students brought their report cards home last week. Throughout the year Grade 1-4 parents can always check on their PowerSchool account to see what students are working on in class and how they are doing. If you do not know how to do that yet - we have instructions on our website.

New Session of BOKS
We will be offering a second session of BOKS starting March 5! The BOKS Program (Build Our Kids’ Success) promotes the impact that physical activity has on a child’s mind, body and spirit. The program aims to get elementary school aged children moving in the morning to help ready their brains for a day of focused learning. BOKS was founded on the principal that ACTIVE KIDS = ACTIVE MINDS. Research has shown that exercise is the single most powerful tool that we have to optimize the function of our brains. We encourage you to learn more about the BOKS program at www.bokskids.ca
Registration will begin on February 18. Online registration link will be emailed to all Grade 1- 4 families. If your child is currently in BOKS, their last day for this session will be Wednesday, February 6. Please let us know via email if you would like your child to continue in the program.
Current BOKS students don't need to re-register just let us know that you would like to continue.
Circle of Security Information:
Circle of Security is a relationship based early intervention program designed to enhance attachment security between parents/caregivers and children. Research shows that secure children exhibit increased empathy, greater self-esteem, better relationships with parents and peers, enhanced school readiness and an increased capacity to handle emotions more effectively.
