Dear colleagues,
The last full week of May is at hand and we are getting busy with finishing the school year. Last week was busy with the 21-22 school-wide operational goal development meeting, curriculum reviews, final parent coffee, and the fabulous assembly. Thank you to everyone who made those events happen in addition to all the busy teaching and learning.
Now it is time to focus on completing report card writing and continue to work on the end-of-year checklist as well as keeping the students still fully focused on learning.
This week starts with a Mathematics curriculum review on Monday and on Tuesday afternoon we have our penultimate Extended Learning session. On Wednesday we will celebrate and share our Tankyuu learnings with colleagues. As the end of the year is filled with transitions, the KB to Gr 1 transition is often considered as one of the more exciting one. Hence, we will lead a parent coffee for KB parents on Thursday to help them to prepare both their children and themselves for the new era in their educational life.
Finally, please note that the State of Emergency will most likely to continue until the end of the school year. Often our wonderful parents suggest many events, gifts, or celebrations mark the successful end of the year. Unfortunately, we need to hold on to our protocols in terms of not bringing treats to school, not organizing any gatherings or other celebrations with parents. Those who are traveling outside the country wouldn't want to risk the negative COVID-19 test required for traveling and also to ensure that we can finish this school year with success.
Let's have a great week!
Riana, Trevor, and Heikki
