Welcome To A New School Year!!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a good summer and enjoyed the beautiful weather!!

Welcome to Grade 2!!

We had a good first week and are getting used to the new rules and routines that are put in place. It is nice to be back at school with the students!! 

Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days this week are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The students will have Phys. Ed with Ms. Baldwin. 

Library - Our library day will be on Tuesday. Students are able to sign out a book each week to take home. Please note, that they need to return the borrowed book each week, before they can take another one out.

Water Bottles - Students are asked to bring a water bottle with them, that they can use throughout the day. With the new health protocols in place, they can't drink from the fountains. We do have bottle fillers on each fountain, so they can refill them throughout the day.

Cafeteria - This year we have a new cafeteria provider. The menus and lunch slips were sent home last week. They ask that lunch orders be placed by 9:00AM each day, so they know how much food to prepare. Please send a lunch slip and the money in a bag when your child is ordering. They do not have to preorder for milk or the daily treat.

Agendas/Orange Folders - The students will bring home their agendas and orange folders each day. Please make sure that you check both daily for messages, memos, events, homework and reminders. I would ask that you initial the agendas each day, so that I know you received the information. The orange folders are used to send memos, forms and papers back and forth. There is a side for Leave Home and Bring Back. Please use this when you have notes or lunch orders to send in.

Homework/Reading Programs - We will begin these programs next week, September 21st. Students will be bringing home 4 books for the week. One to read each night, Monday-Thursday. Books are due back on Friday, so they can be changed and ready for the next week. The students will have a homework folder, with their homework for the week listed and the sheets needed for the week. There will be memos going home on September 21st, to outline both of the programs.

Agenda/Student Fee - Just a reminder that the Student/Agenda fee for the K-2 Students is $10.00. Please send this in when you can if you have not already done so. For 3-5 it is $20.00 and 6-8 it is $30.00. There is a maximum Family Rate of $40.00.

Masks - One of our health protocols requires that all students and staff have 2 masks with them each day.

This is a different school year for everyone and we are gradually easing our way back into things and finding out about the new rules and protocols. Please feel free to contact me at the school if you have questions or concerns; Phone 627-4074; Send a note in the agenda or e-mail: lisa.sullivan@nbed.nb.ca

Have a great week!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a fun weekend! 

This is Week 10 of Home Learning and our last week to post activities. This week we have some Father's Day activities you can work on to give to your dad or grandfather for Father's Day on June 21st. There are templates added for these activities or you can create your own. In Math we are looking at comparing and ordering numbers to 100. I have also added a 2digit subtraction sheet and another graph for those who would like some extra practice. The writing activity is about Summer! What would you like to do thid summer?

If you are looking for some extra activities to continue working on, you can go back and check through the weeks and try some of the activities that you did not do. As well, most of the websites under weblinks will continue to be free until the end of June, some may be for the summer.

I would like to thank all parents, grandparents and other family members for your help and support at home during these last few months of Home Learning. If you need help with anything or if there is anything you need, please e-mail me.
