School Development Surveys
School Development Surveys are conducted annually by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development to gather feedback from parents/guardians to inform the school development process. The survey results will be provided to your child’s school and used with other data to identify the school’s strengths and challenges. Your child’s school will then create and implement a plan to build on successes and address areas of challenge.
At your earliest convenience complete the survey using the link provided here https://www.research.net/r/SDFamily2021EN. All surveys are to be completed by Friday, March 19th.
If you have any questions please contact the school.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
Have a great day!!

A few notes….
**At this time there is no expectation of suspension of in-class instruction in January. However, we must be prepared to switch to online teaching and learning in the coming weeks if the need arises. We are therefore advising that:
● Grades 7-12 students take home resources (textbooks, notes etc.) that may be important for virtual learning should the need occur after the holiday break. Students may need to bring an extra bag to carry their items home.
● Grades K-6 students take home school supplies (e.g., pencils, rulers, crayons, notebooks) they might need to engage in virtual learning should the need occur after the holiday break.
**Friday December 18th is the last day before our Christmas Break. All students will be dismissed at 1:00. There will be no lunchtime bus run. All students will stay through lunch. Monday January 4th is our first day back in the New Year. It is Day 4 on the calendar.
**All students in K-12 have been sent the necessary information required to join their Google Classroom(s). Parents are asked to please check with their child to ensure they have signed into Google Classroom(s).
**Lifetouch Photography has distributed the proofs to students. Due to COVID parents are encouraged to order their pictures online however if this is not an option you may return your order to school by Friday December 18th.
Stay tuned…our Christmas Concert will soon be ready to post online for parents.
Thank you

The intent of these conferences is provide you with further, meaningful insight into your child’s learning.

To schedule appointments, teachers must be contacted via email or you can call the school secretary who will forward your message to the classroom teacher. The deadline to schedule your appointment is 3:00pm on December 8th.
The parent/caregiver will be contacted by the teacher for the conference via telephone during the previously scheduled appointment. Please ensure that all contact information is up to date in PowerSchool as teachers will use this information to contact each parent/caregiver.
A block of 10 minutes will be allotted for each conference. It is important that you adhere to this time frame. If more time is needed, a further conference may be scheduled for a later date.
As you prepare for your conference please ensure that you are settled in a quiet, private location and that you have your child’s report card on hand.
As a result of the parent-teacher conferences, students will be dismissed at lunchtime on Thursday, December 10th.
