Your child's teacher will be sending out more information about this special day next Friday, but you can also click on the picture above to read more about how author Peter H. Reynolds created this book.

The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust her own abilities by being brave enough to "make her mark". What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a break through in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe. We can't wait to see what our students will create when they "make their mark" with a dot of paint or color!

Modeling for your child at an early age that even the smallest hands can beautify and care for the planet, their learning place and the environment is a powerful message to send. Our annual Green Apple Day of Service is an engaging way to volunteer as a family, have fun and make a difference in your community all at the same time! This will be our 10th year hosting this special day of service and each year we commit to making the Primary School a better learning environment for our students and staff. Join us and bring the whole family on Saturday, September 28th, rain or shine! Details below!

We are inviting our families to attend a special evening hosted by our staff to give you a detailed look at your child's daily life as a Woodland Wildcat. As a parent, you see your child off to the bus or drop them at the doors each school day, but what happens next? That's where we come in! We will be covering their daily schedule, what their lunch/recess, snack, playtime and other special activities look like. We want you to know what your child experiences as prek student or kindergarten student at Primary each day. Please look at the schedules below as they are designated by program. You will also receive an invitation by your child's teacher as the event gets closer.
