Sam Shaw – Parent Message
Good afternoon to our Shaw families. We hope this finds you well as we finish up our first Fall Break. Having experience with modified calendars in other settings I can appreciate the good learning “bounce” that can come with this break. We hope our students were able to enjoy this break as we get set for the push towards the Winter Break.
We have our first set of Learning Conferences coming up in two weeks. This will be a formalized opportunity for parents / students and teachers to connect around the progress so far this year. We would also remind parents that they never need to wait for these formalized meetings and can reach out at any time with their student's teachers to make inquiries about progress so far. We do know that communication between home and school is important to student success, and we look forward to seeing parents / students during these conferences. We will be opening the conference sign-up this coming Saturday. An email will notify the community that sign-up is open and available.
We had an impactful Professional Development Day on November 9th. Our focus was on Indigenous learning and history. We know there is much to still learn, and we continue to embrace these opportunities to support Truth and Reconciliation.
We have our next Parent Council meeting this coming Thursday. It is an in-person meeting and starts at 6:30pm. We will be hosting this meeting in the Learning Commons. We continue to encourage our families to come out and be a part of this great opportunity to connect with the school.
A shorter message this week as we head back into it this week.
Take care and have a great week to our families.
