April 2015 Administration Update

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the final term for 2014-2015! Thank you to all of you who came out to conferences before the break. We appreciate having the time to share more about what your children are doing at school and to show you some of their fantastic work.

Next Year Planning

As we move into spring, our focus starts to shift more and more to planning for next year. Right now this means sitting down for one-on-one conversations with all of our staff. Our goals are to evaluate how each of them feels things have gone this year and to talk with them about their hopes and dreams for next year. The information we gather will help us make decisions regarding long term goals for the school, our school organization for 2015-2016, and staffing for next year.

School Council

At our April School Council meeting, we will be sharing as much as we can about our planning for next year. The School Council has also invited Judy Hehr and Trina Hurdman, our school board trustees, to join us at that meeting to discuss the CBE budget for the 2015/16 school year. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 7:00 p.m. Please note that the meeting is on Wednesday this month and not Thursday as it usually is.

Book Fair

At our recent parent-teacher conferences, Mme Brenda again did an outstanding job of organizing the Usborne Book Fair. This time around we raised $1056.94 for the school library. Thanks Mme Brenda!

Penny Carnival

Please read the blog posting that follows this admin update for important information about this year’s Penny Carnival. I would like to extend my thanks to Sheri Bolitho and the Penny Carnival Committee for their hard work in providing another great event for our students. This year’s Penny Carnival will take place on Friday, May 22nd.

As always, we invite you to let us know if you have any questions or would like more information about what is happening at the school.
