Appreciation  

Thank you to those families that joined us on Tuesday for our Family Literacy Session! It was wonderful to see so many families in our school learning alongside our team to see what we are doing and what you can do at home to support literacy.  We will be hosting two more in person sessions this year – one focused on mathematics and one focused on wellbeing.  Keep an eye out for this information.  

 

Safety  

 

We continue to remind families to make responsible decisions when it comes to safety when you are coming to the school either to drop off or pick up your child(ren).  Mr. Hillas and Mrs. Horne met with the Calgary Police Service this week and they encouraged all families to watch this important video about traffic safety.  

Connections - Back to School Traffic Safety  

  

Please take the time to watch it as it holds a lot of important information. There also are some wonderful reminders on the brochures that are available in a number of languages and can be found at https://www.calgary.ca/cps/community-programs-and-resources/crime-prevention/back-to-school-safety-tips.html
