Digital Document Delivery for K-8 Report Cards
We are excited to share that we will be moving to Digital Document Delivery for report cards in grades K-8 this year. Families will receive their child’s Trimester 1 report card via secure email delivery on December 18th (between 3:00-5:00 PM). Please refer to the sample email provided, which includes instructions for accessing the report card using your child’s date of birth. This shift offers several benefits, including increased convenience for families, faster delivery, and a reduced environmental footprint.
For students receiving special education services, families will receive a separate email with Trimester 1 progress reports attached. Additionally, for families requiring translation services, translated report cards and progress reports will be sent home in your child’s backpack on December 18th.
We encourage families to save a copy of the report for easy access, as it may be required by sports teams or other after-school activity groups (not school based).
Sample Email:
Hello,
(Child’s School) has prepared a secure document for (Child’s Name).
Attached you will find your child's report card for Trimester 1 of 2024-2025 school year.
The attached document is password protected. The password is your child's date of birth in this format: mm/dd/yyyy
Please remember to use the slash when entering the date of birth. example: 01/01/2006
If you have any questions about your child's report card, please contact your child's teacher.
Annual Sing Along
Winter Break Reading Challenge
Students are invited to take part in the Winter Break Reading Challenge! To participate, students color in a picture for every 20 minutes they read or are read to during the winter break. Completed logs can be returned for a small prize. To receive the prize, logs must be turned in by Friday, January 3rd.
A paper copy will be sent home early next week, and a PDF version is linked below as a backup in case the original is misplaced or damaged.
Participation is optional; this activity is simply a fun way to encourage reading over the break!

Cold Weather Gear
If your child wants to play in the snow...
We suggest that each student have a designated bag to transport their snow gear to and from school each day. It doesn't need to be fancy—just something your child can easily carry. (A grocery store bag, a reusable bag, or whatever works for your student.
Label your child's belongings, including jackets, sweatshirts, snow pants, and boots. Adding their name to these items makes it easier for us to return lost items.
Pack a pair of shoes! Please send a pair of shoes for your child to wear at school instead of their winter boots, as boots often become wet and heavy during recess.
Ensure gloves are dried before bringing them back to school. Many students request dry pairs, and our supply to share is limited.
Encourage independence! We recommend having your child pack their bag each night. This is a great way to foster responsibility and help them build independence.
No worries if gear is forgotten! If your child forgets their snow gear, it’s okay! This provides students with an opportunity to practice flexible thinking by adapting to the situation and finding alternative ways to play and participate during recess.
