Nelson Mandela Honours Indigenous Veterans Day
We held our first whole school assembly on Friday morning
honouring Indigenous Veterans Day. Please click the link to see the video that
was shared with students. Thank you to Ms. Huynh, Ms. Merkley, Ms. Smiley and
Mr. Roy for planning and organizing. Thank you to the Kinders in G01, Mr.
Dwyer’s French classes and Ms. Xavier’s class for their contributions to the
video. Thank you to all staff for the learning in class and the displays of
Poppies. We will have a moment of silence on Monday, November 11th to honour
those who gave their lives to serve our country.

Progress Reports and Kindergarten Communication of
Learning
On Wednesday, November 13th, you will be receiving either
their Kindergarten Communication of Learning report or their Progress Report if
they are in Grades 1-8.
These reports let you know early in the school year about your child’s
progress. For academic subjects like math, language, and science, the progress
report tells you whether your child is progressing very well, well, or with
difficulty. Progress reports do not have letter grades or percentage marks.
Connected to the November reporting period is the opportunity for families
to have a conversation with their child’s teacher. Parent/Guardian-Teacher
Interviews will be done on Thursday November 14th in the evening and Friday
November 15th in the morning. Please note that Friday November 15th is a P.A
Day for students. Your child(ren)’s teacher will arrange to have a discussion
with you about your child(ren)’s progress. Teachers are available on Thursday
evening until 8 PM and Friday morning until noon. Please connect with them
directly to schedule a time.

Intermediate Science – Cells and Eco-System Board
Game
In Science, the Grade 8's have been learning about cells and
why they are important. The students created 3D models of a plant or animal
cell, labelling many organelles. The class was also fortunate to have
Sandra, a visiting artist, work with them to create clay expressions of a cross
section of plant cells. The results are beautiful! Included in the collage is a
picture of some Grade 7's playing an eco-system board game that they
helped design. We are learning about how humans impact different eco-systems,
both in negative and positive ways.
🍂 Happy Fall,
Everyone!
