Dear Braeside Families,

We hope this message finds you enjoying some sunshine!

We had a full week of learning at Braeside School, and it was amazing. Many students spent time considering the significance of Remembrance Day through picture books, stories, poems and art activities. If your child is in kindergarten or one of the grade 3 / 4 classes they read the story, ‘What Does Peace Feel Like?’ by Vladimir Radunsky and then spent time considering what peace felt like to them. Picture books are a great way for teachers to engage in conversations with students about complex topics such as ‘Peace’. Next Wednesday we will be having a whole school virtual assembly to recognize Remembrance Day. Ask your child what they did this week connected to Remembrance Day and why it was important.

We are currently hosting a Veterans Food Drive. Students are welcome to bring in non-perishable food and household items.

A new school video has been posted in your child’s Google Classroom. If you have not had a chance to view it yet, please do so this weekend! All families should now be able to access their child’s Google Classroom. If you are having trouble accessing your child's Google Classroom, please contact your child’s teacher directly.

Next Tuesday, November 9th at 6:30 pm we will be hosting a virtual School Council Meeting. Attending a School Council meeting is a great way to hear what’s happening at the school and connect with other Braeside Families (plus, because it’s virtual, you don’t even have to leave your house!). Please consider attending this meeting. The link and agenda will be sent out Tuesday morning.

If your child arrives at school after 8:00 am please remind them to access the school through the front door and check-in at the office. Moving forward there will be a teacher at each entry door in the morning greeting students as they arrive at school from 7:50 – 8:00 am. If a child arrives after 8:00 am the door will be shut and locked, and the child will need to go to the main office.

Take care,

Fiona Johnson and Melanie Bennett
