Reorganization - Sept. 25th
On September 16th, a letter was communicated to families explaining an upcoming reorganization of students in the junior division. We are lucky to have been allotted a new French Immersion teacher in order to reduce class sizes in the junior division. As a result, my class will become a smaller 4/5 starting September 25th, and a second 4/5 FI has been created. It was a difficult process of selecting almost half of my students to move into a new class. Academic and social needs were top of list when making these decisions.
I understand there was a mix-up with the letters sent home by the office on the 20th, confirming placements; if you're still unsure whether your child is staying with me or moving to the other 4/5, please email me at christine.trott@tdsb.on.ca.
Curriculum Night - Sept. 26th
In light of our reorganization, our Curriculum Night was moved to this Thursday, September 26th. This will allow parents to meet with the correct teacher and get an overview of the year ahead. I'm hoping to see as many families as possible; classroom presentations start at 6:00 & 6:20. The evening will wrap up at 6:40.
Terry Fox Run - Sept. 26th
Our school Terry Fox Run is scheduled to take place during the afternoon of the 26th. Students have set a personal goal of $20 in order to reach a target of $600 in our class. Thanks for your support in helping them reach their goals!
Orange Shirt Day - Sept. 30th
On September 30th, we at Clairlea show our solidarity for Canada's Indigenous people by wearing an orange shirt. This shirt is a symbol of reconciliation for the horrors that were Canada's residential schools. For over 30 years, young Indigenous Canadians were forced into government-run schools where they were stripped of their culture, language, pride and human rights. By wearing an orange shirt we take a stand against discrimination and show our respect for Canada's First People.
Wishing you all a good week ahead!
