Nov 23

Today we had an assembly about resiliency, pride and perseverance. Ask me what resiliency, or being resilient means. This afternoon we had a Circle of Courage meeting for one of our friends in our class. She shared so many cool artifacts with us.

1) Student-led conferences: Thursday and Friday are student-led conferences. Your child is working hard to pick pieces of work and self reflect on their learning. They are also working hard learning how to to share this information with you at conferences. 2 families are booked in a 1/2 hour time slot. One family will meet first with Ms. MacDonald while the other family has their child show them the centers in the hallway. After 15 minutes the second family will be asked to come and conference with Ms. Percival so that the other family can go view the different centers. 

2) ATP Slipper production: Please complete the Consent and Acknowledgement of Risk form that was sent home today, and return it to your teacher by Tuesday November 29, 2016.

3) Holiday Scholastic order: If you would still like to place an order you now have till Thursday Nov 24. If you would like to keep any items in this order as a holiday gift for your child please e-mail me here and I can keep the items set aside for you to pick up at the front office instead of having them sent home with the student. 

4) Stephen's Backpacks: Royal Oak School is collecting new items for Stephen’s Backpacks. Our goal is to fill 100 backpacks for children this Christmas. Donations of new items such as mittens, hats, socks, small toys, craft things, toothbrushes, books are being accepted. Donations can be sent to school with your child and they will be put under the Christmas tree in the gathering space. Thank you for your support. We will begin collecting items in the gathering space beginning on Monday November 14^th and will be accepting donations until Friday December 9th. 

5) Spirt Wear fundraiser:

Dear Parents, we are excited by the response so far to the Spirit Wear fundraiser.  We would like to remind you that we will have samples available for trying during Student Conferences on Thursday, November 24th and Friday, November 25th.  Please allow time to visit us at the ROS Fundraising Society table!  If you need help with sizing and are not able to attend conferences, please email us to make alternate arrangements! Thank you and Happy Weekend!
