We're baaaack…..
Welcome back to school!! We are thrilled to have students return to school – it was a lonely and quiet place in the spring.
This year, as you are well aware, is a bit strange, and students may feel nervous about returning to school. Staff have worked hard to prepare for students, and we will continue to make health and safety a priority. We have many new procedures in place to address health and safety concerns related to COVID-19, and staff will be supporting students to learn these over the coming weeks. Most importantly for us, is normalizing this experience for kids, and giving them power through knowledge. Life can be scary when things are unknown, and helping student learn the 'why' behind our actions, will hopefully, alleviate some nerves. More than ever, our strong relationships will be critical – we are one big family and we will do our best to take care of your children.
If you have not done so already, please take the time to read our school re-entry plan. This outlines specific health and safety measures that we are putting into place at B & B. Please pay particular attention to the sections on student illness – there will be zero tolerance for students/staff/visitors displaying COVID-19 like symptoms at school. We need to be mindful of the health of our building, and ask that you respect these expectations. Remember, we take care of ourselves, we take care of each other, and we take care of our fantastic school.
While classrooms and common areas may look different this year, staff will continue to provide rich learning experiences for students. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher with questions– they are your first point of contact.
Please check the school website and watch for the weekly Banting Bulletin for all the happenings. And as always, reach out anytime!
On behalf of the staff, welcome to the 2020/21 school year! It's going to be a fantastic year!
Respectfully,
Payal Tuli, Principal
