As this is our first newsletter since the Winter Break, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our Kindergarten through Grade 2 students and their teachers, especially Mrs. Costinak, on two wonderful Winter Concerts.  Concerts on both evenings were very well attended.
I would also like to thank the CAVA students and their leaders for yet another extremely successful Food Drive. Our students and their families always amaze me with their generosity and caring for others less fortunate. This year we collected 15 boxes of food! As a result of meeting our goal, our CAVA leadership students, have planned a special day to be held on Friday February 8. Students are invited to come to school on that day dressed as their favourite animal or their favourite superhero. It should be fun!
On January 14 we began accepting registrations for the upcoming school year. The timeline for the first round is January 14 through to February 12 (12:00 PM) 2019. On January 10, we held our Parent Information Evening for families considering TLC as an option for their children. It was very well attended and the parents asked many questions about the program, transportation and the registration and lottery processes. Thank you to our administrative team and our teaching staff who attended and provided advice and assistance.  The PowerPoint presentation from this meeting is posted on our school website.
An important way of supporting your child’s education and school is by attending School Council. School Council supports the creation of a sense of community and spirit of cooperation among teachers, students, parents and the community at large in addition to acting as an advisory group to the school administration. Our next meeting is Monday, February 25 at 6:30 PM. All parents of members of our School Council and are encouraged to attend the meetings.
