How time flies .. this is the common refrain that I have heard from almost every person that I have chatted with - be it student, parent,staff or community member. It certainly feels so as we are already in March and looking forward to a well deserved break!
We have had many parents attend the Parent/Teacher conferences and I firmly believe that with communication -- access to technology to verify what is for homework, how your child is doing -- we are in a better position to provide the best opportunities for our kids. There should be nothing getting in the way of finding out how your child is doing. However, we still have some students who have a number of Incompletes from last term. Teachers have contacted parents and we are doing our best to help the students convert these "I" into letter grades.
Our Concert Choir was up in Parksville last Tuesday and did very well. Track and Field under the direction of Ms. Haddon and Mr. Mussell has taken off and we had 65 students show up for the first meeting! This should be a great season.
During our Principal and Vice Principal professional development session, I was struck by the connections that are inherent in our School District. Schools continually work together -- all with the objective of providing the best options for all students. For example, our TAG Leadership class will be visiting Wishart for an assembly on Anti- Bullying and our students attended Cabaret at Belmont last Friday. They were treated to an amazing concert and had the opportunity to see their peers perform.
As we embark upon the last week before the Spring Break, please take the opportunity to drop in and say hello. Have a splendid break.
