Thunder News Flash – October 16, 2021

On Monday, October 17th your child will be bringing home their Interim Progress Report.  This Progress Report focuses on learning behaviours, which certainly can have an impact on academic success in the classroom.  Many children, especially those in the younger grades, are still learning how to be students in a classroom, and in a new grade.  They may have some check marks in the “still working on” column and this is to be expected, especially this early in the school year.  If these learning behaviours continue to be inconsistent, this may help to form some of the goals that will be developed and discussed at the Parent/Teacher Interviews in November.

Just a reminder that if you are using the drop off lane in the morning, parents should remain in their vehicles.  Students should be able to remove their seatbelt, open and close the vehicle door, and get their backpack all on their own.   Parents using the drop off lane are often in a hurry to get to work, so the line needs to move quickly.  If your children still need assistance, please park in the parent parking lot where there is no need to rush.

Just a reminder that there will be no school on Friday, October 21st for the Provincial Pro-D Day.

Please come look through the Lost and Found bin near the office.  Any items not picked up will be donated to charity.

The Outdoor Kindergarten program relies on parent volunteers to join the class and go off property.  We are in need of parents to volunteer to assist with this program.  Good news – you do not need to be a Kindergarten parent to participate!  This would entail about 1.5 hours and it is offered each day.  You can get your steps in and spend time with the youngest learners in our school! That’s what we call a win-win.  Please contact the office for more information.
