Dear colleagues,
Thank you for the hard work in preparing written reports about learning during the first semester and for many of you already submitting your comments for proofreading. The deadline for completing comments for our review is today, Monday. We will be proofreading the comments in the first come first served order and you will be receiving the feedback by next Monday, 14 December.
Also, we would like to say thank you to everyone who helped us to get through the second alarm of a potential coronavirus case past week. Particularly, Erin’s swift action as well as Riana’s and Grade 5 team’s response was a humbling demonstration of the professionalism that keeps us going during these challenging times. Thank you also for engaging in the processing of potential transition from in-class learning to distance learning which as a process hopefully makes us all better prepared for any further disruptions this school year.
This Wednesday we will continue our planning of the final Extended Learning #8 and then having time for Report Card writing. On Thursday afternoon we will have another parent coffee introducing the basics of assessment practices in the Elementary School as well as helping the parents to read and understand the report cards. We finish the week with the Extended Learning on Friday afternoon.
Finally, thank you to everyone who helped our alumni Sophie Wiz with her student teaching studies by allowing her to observe teaching and learning in our classrooms.
Let’s have a great week, stay safe, and healthy.
Riana, Trevor, and Heikki
