PAC MEETING
Thank you to everyone who attended the October PAC meeting. It was a very productive meeting. We listened to a presentation about the Districts 5 Year Strategic Plan and had the opportunity to ask questions to one of our South Zone Trustees, in addition to approving this year’s expenditure plan. Please find the minutes HERE and the attached budget expenditure plan HERE and the forecasted budget amounts HERE.
HOT LUNCH
The next two upcoming hot lunches are scheduled for November 26 (orders due November 19) and December 10 (orders due December 5).
HOLIDAY ART CARDS
Ordering is now open for Holiday Art Cards. The Art Cards are pieces of artwork!
Each child in the school creates a piece of artwork which is then photographed
and glued onto white cardstock to create a beautiful and unique card. Cards (including
envelopes) come in bundles of 6. You can order your own child’s art and/or a
mixed bundle of artwork from various classes.
SURVEYS

2. The Ministry of Education is asking
for feedback on the proposed new K-12 Student Reporting Policy. Any feedback
you can share will be used to help refine and improve the current draft. This
survey ends this month with the updated release in January 2022. The survey
