We have made a discovery. Not everyone is receiving emails from Andrea who is our room coordinator. Due to FOIP (privacy issues), the school does not supply the emails to the coordinators. The emails needed to be put on the volunteer paper that went to the Parent Council and then was given to Andrea. It was also discovered that sometimes the email addresses did not filter down to all the children in the family as you were asked to send it back with the eldest student in your family. Andrea has put together a letter to be sent home on Thursday with the children who we do not have email addresses for. Please feel free to contact her with your email using her address below if you would like to receive emails from her, otherwise you will need to check the blog daily and contact her when needed. Most of the information is placed in the blog first.
Book Fair
There will be no library book exchanges next week, as we will have a Book Fair set up in the Library for the Parent-Teacher conferences. We will be going to have a preview during our library time on Wednesday and then books can be purchased Thursday evening and Friday morning. A portion of the book purchases go towards adding to our own school library.
We have had a talk that the preview is to make a wish list. This wish list is for books we want to have but it is our parents who decide to which books we get.
