No School-Friday, January 23rd

There is no school tomorrow (Friday) and we will have a "traditional snow day", with no scheduled learning. This day will be added to the end of the school year's calendar. 

We are sending your child's iPad home today for the unlikely event that we continue to have no school on Monday. We will then have an e-learning day and students will be expected to log on and join their teacher and class for remote learning in the morning and to complete asynchronous (independent) learning in the afternoon. 
 

Kinder, 1st & 2nd Grade Families:

This is the first time we have sent iPads home with Kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2 students.

Information for logging into an E-Learning day is included in the bag with your child's iPad.

Please note that you are responsible for keeping the iPad safe and for returning it, as well as the charger, when we come back to school.
