PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE 

 

Dear St’a7mes Families,

 

We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Spring Break. Please note that the school will be closed from March 17 – March 30. We look forward to welcoming students back to school on March 31st.

 

Spring Break offers a great opportunity to pause, reflect, and reset, and as we return, we will be introducing some measures to encourage consistent attendance from now until the end of the school year. Regular attendance is a key predictor of future success, and we are committed to supporting students and families in making every day count.

 

We will be hosting our Student Led Conferences (Cultural Journeys) and Parent Teacher Interviews (Learning Expeditions) on Wednesday, April 2nd from 3:00 – 6:00pm. Students will be dismissed early at 2:00pm on this day to facilitate these meetings. Bussing will be provided. Please find below instructions to book your appointments. We hope you can all make an appointment to discuss your child’s achievement with their teacher.

 

Today we had a community lunch where Ms. Kathleen's class made chili and caesar salad for the school. Students will be bringing left overs home to share with family. Please ensure you check your child's backpack. 

 

Yours Truly,

 

Cory Hartling

Principal
