Dear Ramsay School Families,
Thank you for attending conferences. Teachers appreciate the opportunity to connect with you and share learning celebrations and next steps around your child's progress. On-going communication is also important throughout the school year; however, scheduled conferences offer an opportunity to engage in formal communication around your child's learning, well-being, and individualized programming if your child is supported through an IPP. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you require a follow-up meeting or to reschedule a missed conference.
Fence Art Project Wraps Up!
Parents & volunteers, thank you for your support of Ramsay School's Fence Art Project. We are so excited to see the pieces up on the fence. We look forward to sharing out a short video of the process around the project in the coming weeks. We are so grateful to Monica Ila for all her work around the fence art.
Thank you for your generosity!
Well over 400 items were collected for the Veteran's Food Bank throughout the month of December. Your generosity is much appreciated. We are still collecting items for the Alexandra Center and so far we have donations of small gifts for seniors, non-perishable food items and toiletries. These items will be picked up this week and used for hampers within the community. Thank you for all of your support! Mrs. Haydu is supporting students in all classrooms when they are inside the learning commons for Maker Centers to paint Christmas ornaments and make cards to donate to the senior hampers as well.
Honoring Metis Week
Our Grade 1/2 classes have been engaging in learning around Metis Week and have shared their learning on their classroom blogs. Thank you to Ms. Rowland and Ms. Paradis for lifting this work in our school for our students and making this learning visible. Please see here for more information about Metis Week.
Preparing for our “Tree in Me" Fused Glass Residency
We are looking forward to starting our fused glass residency with Clay for Kids around our school-wide theme: The Tree in Me. Students will each create a small glass art piece that reflects this learning. Thank you to our Parent Association for covering all costs for this residency! As a school, we are grateful to be able to offer this enhancement to student learning without charging parents.
Vaccination Requirement for Employees, Partners, Volunteers
With support from the Board of Trustees, the CBE will require that all employees, volunteers and CBE partners be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Dec. 17, 2021. The CBE's vaccination requirement applies to all contracted service providers, tenants in CBE buildings and all volunteers.
Parents thank you for those of you who have been able to update your volunteer records and complete clearance. We appreciate your support at Ramsay School!
