A.D.S. Elementary School

It’s hard to believe that another school year is drawing to a close. The year’s end always brings with it a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

To our graduates – congratulations on your achievement. The ADS staff wish you all the best as you move to your new high school. If this is your last child to leave ADS, the staff would like to thank you for your support and for the guidance that you have provided for your child(ren). We look forward to hearing from the graduates in the future and we hope that each of them will have gained a firm foundation for their education while at ADS. We know that many of you will visit staff members at the school in the next few years.

We have shared many great experiences this year and look forward to some rest and rejuvenation before we begin again in August. On behalf of the staff of ADS Elementary, I wish all our students and their families a fun and safe summer.

During our picnic on June 21st, we will be hosting our Awards ceremony celebrating the success and dedication of some of our students. Parents will be notified if their child(ren) is receiving an award. The ceremony will begin at noon.

On June 17, Grades 1-6 will be going to La Reine de La Patate for mini-putt. The whole school will also be treated to an ice cream.

On June 18, Grade 1-6 will be going to Burbank Pond.

Last day of School: Our last day of school is Friday, June 21st ! We have organized a fun day for everyone! We will have blow up games. Parents are invited to join our picnic lunch at 11:30. Please make sure your child comes with a lunch to eat on this day. Parents must bring their own lunch and chairs or blankets to sit on.

Grade 6 has already started their exams. They have been working on a local French Exam. As well, their ELA is from May 27-May30. Math is on June 11-12-13. It is very important that students are present on these days.

Grade 6 is working on outlining the details for their graduation ceremony which will be on Tuesday June 18th at 6:30pm. We are very excited about holding a graduation ceremony at our school with our families.

As our final field trip, grade 6 will be going to Party Zone 51 in Victoriaville on Wednesday June 19th. We will have access to over 100 different vintage arcades and games. Students will have the entire place to themselves for the day!

Grade 6 is planning a community walk in the town of Danville on June 4th. Amongst our multiple stops in town, we will be visiting the public library, la maison des jeunes and we will enjoy a meal together at La Binerie du Carré. A big thank you to Isabelle Lodge, our CLC coordinator, who is helping us organize our expedition.

On Wednesday June 5th, our grade 6 students will be spending time at the RRHS to explore their future learning environment. This activity is to get to know the school and take part in different activities to ease their way into high school.

As part of their drama class, grade 6 students are preparing a short farewell play that they will present to the entire school on Thursday, June 20th at 11:00 am. When writing the play, students kept in mind important events that marked their journey at ADS.

We have sent out the last menu of the year. I want to thank everyone for being so understanding and cooperative throughout the school year with the forms and deadlines. It is greatly appreciated! Ms. Holliday

If you do not receive this text message on June 3, we strongly encourage you to contact your child's school to update your contact information, especially your cell phone number. It is essential that we have up-to-date contact information to be able to reach you quickly in case of need.

We thank you for your attention to this important initiative.
