Final Weekly update, Monday, 10 June, 2024


Dear Colleagues,

This is it! Time to wrap up the 2023-2024 school year by sending grade 5 to middle school and everyone to a well-earned summer break. This week’s assembly, with our Learning Leader MCs, will conclude the week for the children, and then school is out for the summer.


Thank you to the grade 5 team for getting through the transition ceremony on Thursday and to the PreK/KA team for their successful PreK/KA concert as part of their end-of-year celebration.


As always, during the last few days, we will have our hands full keeping everyone calm and patient amid the end-of-school-year excitement, nervousness, and heightened emotional states impacting both students and us faculty. Let’s keep the routines going as normal and keep the children busy learning and completing tasks until the very end.

Let’s enjoy the last few days with the children, and we wish everybody a happy summer!

Erin, Trevor, and Heikki

Weekly Update, Monday, 3 June, 2024



Dear Colleagues,

The last full week of school will bring us spirited dressing up, end-of-year parties, and a Grade 5 transition to Middle School celebration. Thank you to the grade 3-5 teams for getting through the MAP testing. Also, thank you to everyone for keeping the children focused, settled, and calm this past week and throughout this week and the two and a half days next week.


This Wednesday's session will focus on reflecting on the final units of learning, planning the first unit of the year, and saying farewell to our leaving colleagues.

 

Let’s have a wonderful week!

Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
