Please Return All PRPS Library Books in June

Throughout the month of June we will be working to get all of our books and resources returned. A library book reminder notice will be sent home this week with students that currently have a book out on loan from the PRPS library. Please take some time to look for the book at home. If you feel the book is lost, families can choose to either replace the book by purchasing a new one (please purchase the same book that is unreturned), or by paying the book replacement fee as indicated on the reminder notice.

To pay the fee, please use the unreturned library book fee service in School Day Permissions & Payments. Enter the amount that was on your reminder notice in the box below beside "Select Your Amount:" and then select "ADD TO CART" and proceed to your cart for payment.

Student Classroom Placement

Planning for a school year is a lengthy and thoughtful process. Our tentative school organization is developed by the staffing committee and is based on our school’s projected enrolment and Ministry regulations around class size.

Teachers and leadership teams consider a variety of factors when placing students into classes. Each class is formed by selecting students with a full range of abilities, maturity levels; grouping students to optimize program delivery; combining students to promote a positive classroom atmosphere for learning; placing students with peers with whom they work and relate well to, with efforts to balance gender in each room. As a staff, we do our best to ensure success for all of our students.

If there are exigent circumstances that the school may not be aware of, that families feel may impact a student’s classroom placement, we ask that you connect with your child’s classroom teacher and email Mrs. Croth. We will consider this information to the best of our abilities when determining students’ classroom placements. Please know that educators do their best to place students into classes where they feel the student will thrive while following the structure of the tentative school organization and Ministry/Board guidelines.

Kindergarten students will be notified of their classroom placement in mid August. Students identified as requiring transitional support will be notified of their classroom placement through the transition planning process. Students in grade 1-8 will find out their classroom placement on the first day of school.

Thank you in advance for your ongoing support.
