Dear Robert Warren Families,
Thank you to our many families who attended our Meet the Teacher evening this past week, and shared their appreciation for the information presented. It was a pleasure to talk with you.
We had a beautiful day to be outside on Friday, September 15 for our Terry Fox activities!
During homeroom, students created and rehearsed a cheer. Students also created banners that they held up during their homeroom cheer. Students also watched a Terry Fox video together in the gym.
After making our way outside, each homeroom participated in a tug of war, being encouraged by the cheering voices of all other students. This was followed by our Terry Fox run. The excitement of students and staff was palpable.
This week, we honour our Truth and Reconciliation commitments with daily activities during our Social Studies classes.
These activities will culminate on Thursday, with Orange Shirt Day, and an opportunity for each student to place a personalized message on the sidewalk in front of our school, using sidewalk chalk.
A reminder that our next School Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 10 at 7:00 pm.
During the week of the 23-27 of October, we will Celebrate the National Hispanic Heritage Month with our own “Semana Cultural del Español”. We will have award winning Latin Dance Instructors, food vendors, and other exciting cultural activities planned for our students. The language and the culture will be palpable during this week.
“Durante la semana del 23 al 27 de octubre, celebraremos el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana con nuestra propia “Semana Cultural del Español”. Tendremos galardonados instructores de baile latino, vendedores de comida y otras emocionantes actividades culturales planificadas para nuestros estudiantes. El idioma y la cultura serán palpables durante esta semana.”
As we move further into the school year, we are increasing our understanding of students’ progress and learning needs. Teachers are collecting learning artifacts that will help them assess progress in the various subject areas. They will communicate your child’s progress to you at our November Student Progress Conferences, and in the first report card which you will be able to access at the end of January. Assessment and reporting to parents are ongoing processes. If you feel that you need to discuss your child’s progress with their teacher, please reach out to them.
Sincere regards,
Colin Haydu Principal
