Student-Led Conferences
They are being held on Monday, April 17, 2017 from 8:00am - 12:00pm and then 1:00pm - 5:00pm. Please note that there are other families in the room at the same time. If there is anything you would like to discuss of a private nature, then please feel free to book another time with me.
You are booking a 15 minute time slot to discuss things with the teacher. You may want to plan for time either before or after your booked time for your child to share what they have been doing in the classroom.
Thank you to those who have already booked. You can access the booking times using the link on the school website. It is in the middle near the bottom of the page.
Communities helping Communities
Grade 2’s have been learning about communities across Canada. As we explored ways of life in the Arctic, we were shocked to learn that a fire had devastated the community school in Kugaaruk, Nunavut. Not just a center for education, the school served as the community center with the arena, breakfast and lunch program, and special events. Grade 2’s at Prince of Wales have banded together, and following the design thinking process, explored how to best support this community.
To support Kugaaruk School, Grade 2’s will host Intermural Floor Hockey in the gym from April 10th- April 20th from12:00-12:30PM and welcome all donations (suggested donation is $2). Ms. Konno will be creating heartfelt cards with students in Room 9. The Grade 2’s also welcome cash donations in support of the community of Kugaaruk.
Cash donations will be accepted from April 3rd to April 21st.
Please see below for your Grade Schedule. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
We thank you in advance for your support!
