Family teacher conferences will be going ahead on Thursday, December 4. Buses will be leaving the school at 11:30. Families who require translation services will have appointments scheduled for December 10 instead, as we will be working with the ANC.

Our sessions on December 4 will be from: 1:00- 5:00. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please email your child's teacher to schedule a time to meet. Appointments will be ten minutes each, and as we have no school secretary right now, you must contact your child's teacher to arrange an interview.

We will be having kinderstart sessions coming up for next year's kindergarten students. There will be no school for our current kindergarten students on these days.

It is very important for children to attend school. As the number of days missed increases, students fall behind in their learning, and struggle to catch up. This becomes a continuous cycle.

We love having your children with us! We also know that sometimes things are challenging, but want you to know that we are here to support you and your child - and the best way we can do that is to have them here, on time, each day.

If your child IS absent, please send their teacher an email so that we can keep accurate attendance records.
