Bulldog Bulletin

Hello, Bulldog Families!

As we enter November, our staff are working at preparing progress reports. These are the first of the three formal reports this year. They are to give you a snapshot of the learning that has taken place so far this year. Hard copies of these will be sent home with each student on November 20th, and will also be able to be accessed through Edsby. When reviewing these reports, you will see levels provided to give you an understanding of how your child is progressing. These do not correspond with a specific letter grade. They are determined based on where each learner is at at this time as they hone their skills.

Educators will connect with families to coordinate meetings for those who would like to further discuss their student's progress. The progress reports will serve as a fantastic entry-point into these conversations, enabling educators to provide greater detail and next steps to further each student's development in the months ahead.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments or concerns.

Sincerely,

Jason

We are always happy to welcome volunteers into our school to assist with class trips and in-school activities. In order to volunteer, we need to have your up-to-date Vulnerable Sector check on file in the office. If you wish to have this completed, please contact the office, and we can provide you with a letter to submit for the free police check, now done online!

We would like to remind all parents of our morning yard supervision limitations. We are able to provide supervision for students arriving on their bus from 8:20 until the bell at 9:00. Students who arrive by walking/car/bike are not provided supervision until 8:45. Please do not arrive at the gate before 8:45 a.m. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation going forward.

On Wednesday, November 27th, we will have our School Council providing a pasta lunch for all students. This will happen throughout the year, payment is through School Cash Online.

If you wish to volunteer for this, please contact the office.

School Cash Online is our preferred method of payment for all school events and fundraisers. It eliminates extra work for the teachers and administration, as well as allows parents to track the purchases they’ve made. If you are not yet using School Cash Online we encourage you to get connected at kprdsb.schoolcashonline.com.

Students will once again get the opportunity to go skating at the Community Centre. Our first date for this will be November 22nd. Students are asked to bring their skates, helmet and a pair of mittens in order to be permitted on the ice. There are skates and helmets available at the arena to borrow. Permission forms have gone home and must be returned for your student to participate. If you are interested in volunteering and have a current Vulnerable Sector Check, please inform your child's homeroom teacher.

On November 7th, our school will host legion members as a part of our Remembrance Day assembly. On November 11th, some of our junior classes will be attending the ceremony at the Cenotaph and two of our students will be a wreath.

On Saturday, November 30th from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm there will be a craft and book sale at the Havelock Library. All are invited and welcome to attend!
