Dear Ramsay School Families,
Here's hoping you enjoyed some beautiful weather this weekend! It's another busy week ahead at Ramsay School with our Grade 6 students writing their first provincial achievement test on Wednesday morning and our Grade 1/2 students away learning off-site at the Telus Center. Mrs. Tonkin will be meeting with new Kindergarten families throughout the week for a “meet-and-greet" and an opportunity for our new students to see their school.
On Thursday, we're hosting “Frisbee Rob" who is a physical literacy champion and frisbee ambassador with four core messages for students:
Physical Literacy: The importance of trying/doing multiple sports/activities.
Kindness: Focus on pro-Kindness rather than anti-Bullying.
Resiliency/Growth Mindset: Learning from failure, and valuing practice.
Unplugg'd Challenge: building self-discipline by setting screen time limits.
We look forward to learning from Frisbee Rob during our Phys Ed times on Thursday out in our school field (weather permitting).
Wednesday – Virtual School Council Meeting at 6:00 p.m.
Please join us on Wednesday evening for our School Council meeting where Ms. Rowland will speak about Ramsay School's commitment to the work around TRC throughout the 2021-2022 school year, and how these actions have supported student well-being. I look forward to sharing some of our preliminary planning for the fall at the meeting as well. Thanks in advance for those who are able to provide advisement around possible residencies for next year! We value your input. Ms. Calhoun emailed out the agenda, link and draft minutes last week.
