Conferences
Hello, O'Malley families! As conferences approach, I'm sure there is some excitement to see student work and ask questions of our fabulous teacher teams. We are looking forward to hosting you and our schedules are open for the days of the 28th and 29th of October from 12:15pm to 6:15pm.
In order to accommodate all our families, our meetings will only be 15 minutes long. Therefore, it is a good idea to think about the questions you want to ask before arriving at the conference. What is most important to you? What is your student enjoying and what might be causing them concern? Our teachers want to see your students succeed and are working hard to come prepared with important information concerning your child's work in class. With this in mind, if you know that there are things you want to discuss that could exceed the time scheduled, I encourage you to reach out with an email that outlines your concerns and ask if a longer meeting could or should be arranged.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns, and thank you for your partnership in making the O'Malley community safe, kind, and responsible.

Unsung heros
I want to give a big shoutout to our para educators. Three of the four are brand new. They manage lunch rooms, monitor recess, and help in the classroom. Their jobs are exhausting - and often thankless. I am so appreciative of our team: Ms. Julie and Ms. Andrea in resource, Ms. Alexa in French Kindy, and Ms. Cass in English partner Kindy.
Thank you ladies for all the work you do to help make things run smoothly. A lot is asked of you and you are rising to the occasion beautifully.
Reflection
Dear O'Malley Elementary Families,
I want to take a moment to express gratitude to you, the parents. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your partnership. Thank you for your concern, your care, and your courage. Most of all, thank you for trusting us with your beautiful children.
Happy Wednesday, everyone.
