Hello Parents and Students,Welcome to another year of Grade 4! I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of your children during this school year and helping them to become better at their skills and abilities as we navigate through new waters of learning and fun. A notice outlining important dates has been sent home with your child. I ask that you review that notice and make note of the new lunch price of $2. This can be paid in advance or daily, and if you review the weekly lunch menu, to please make arrangements to have a lunch brought with your child so that they will have their lunch for that day. I will not be letting children call minutes before lunch to have one brought to avoid any crowds and chaos in the front office. Please review the week's menu, which is often posted Sunday night or very early Monday morning. Dental forms and student information forms have also been sent home with your child on this first day. Please fill them with up-to-date information and have them brought back in as soon as is possible. Thank you! Make note of other important dates such as Meet The Teacher night - Thursday Sept 19 from 3:00 - 5:30 pm. I look forward to meeting all the parents to discuss what we will be learning this year, to answer any questions you may have and to start building a strong home-school relationship/connection to help your child be even more successful this year!! Friday Sept 27 is picture Day!!! Get those haircuts and fancy digs out to commemorate the growth and change your child has undergone over the brief, but productive summer they just had. Drop in to my page when you can. I will post important dates and events and share pictures as needed to help you enjoy what your child is learning and enjoying as the year progresses. As always, if there are any questions or concerns, feel free to call to make an appointment so that we can discuss them. I look forward to a wonderful year with your child! Yay! Miss S. Ward
