Pink Day
Pink Day is on Wednesday, February 26th. Please send your child to school wearing something pink. This is the day we bring special attention to anti-bullying and acceptance of others. Student-Led Conferences An important part of the second reporting period is the student-led conferences. The conferences are based on the rationale that children are capable of taking responsibility for their work and sharing their progress with their parents. It is felt that this style of conferencing can help build confidence in children and improve their communication skills. The children will show samples of their work and parents will also have an opportunity to speak to the teacher. Please remember to return the form that was sent home on Thursday, February 20th to indicate the best day and time that you would be able to attend. February Lunch Day There will be a special sushi lunch day on Friday, February 28th. Order forms and money must be submitted by Monday, February 24th. Friendship Celebration
