Elementary Update – January 17th, 2020
Sandy Sheppard, Elementary School Principal
Dear all,
We have had a great week at ISY. This week we celebrated writing, enjoyed a presentation on sustainability and learnt lots in our classrooms.
Next week cycle 3 of assemblies begin again. The Grade 5 students are doing a wonderful job of leading these assembly times.
We are monitoring air quality and have a plan in place should we need to have indoor recess, PE times.
Have a great weekend.
