Bon Vendredi!
Happy Friday!
This week brought another bout of wonky weather, hopefully the last snowstorm of the year, but it certainly didn’t slow down the learning happening in our school. Congratulations to our Grade 6 French Immersion students, who completed the first part of the DELF exam this week! Half of our Kindergarten French Immersion students were also busy attending their field trip to Bow Valley Habitat, while our Grade 3 French Immersion classes enjoyed a visit to Aggie Days. Our artist in residence was working with classes throughout the week, bringing creativity and fresh energy into our learning spaces.
Important Update - Planning for next year
Families have received communication Thursday, April 16 regarding planning for the upcoming school year. This process is being completed through School Engage this year, rather than the paper forms that have typically been used in the past. This information is extremely important, as it helps us plan staffing, class organization, and programming to best support our students next year.
We truly appreciate families taking the time to complete this step to support our school’s planning.
