Reading: students are reminded bring a book to school to read, they are also invited to borrow books from the classroom.  Daily reading at home is encouraged.  When the school library schedule is created, we will be visiting it regularly to sign out books for enjoyment or research.  The Toronto Public Library is a wonderful place to borrow and sign out books or ebooks. 

MATH: math is everywhere.  Complete the entrance pass sheet and place it in the entrance bin by Friday Sept. 7th.

Indoor/Outdoor Shoes:  students are reminded to bring in a second pair of shoes to leave at school (in their lockers) to wear during the instructional day.  This minimizes dirt on our classroom floor as we do sit on the floor often and safety in the gym during physical activities.

Agendas: each student has received an agenda as we will be using them on a daily basis to schedule class activities, trips and teams events for the school year.  A $5.00 fee is requested for your child's agenda. Thank you to the School Council who covers the remainder of the cost.  Connect with your child regularly to share and discuss any dates for upcoming events throughout the school year  :o)

Forms: a series of letters and forms have been sent home today and we hope to have them all returned to school be the end of this week.  Please return the school package forms as soon as possible so that we may update school files:

• medical form
• physical education / intramurals form
• lunch form
• code of online conduct form
• media release form
• blogs & wikis class media release form
