Elementary Update – November 3rd
Sandy Sheppard, Elementary School Principal
Dear Parents,
My apologies for the late blog post this week. I have been at a conference all week and have just returned. The conference was the EARCOS Leadership Conference. This coming week we have Linda Henke a Reggio Emilia Early Years expert in school all week working with our early years teams. We also have our school architect, Alan Higgs with us for three days. He will be meeting with students in Grade 3,4 and 5, teachers, the Board and parents. The 11th and 12th will be a holiday for students, the faculty will be attending Adaptive Schools training. There is important information on progress reports and the upcoming parent conferences in this blog.
