Dear Parents,
There's a lot of information streaming back and forth right now. Here are some things you may have missed:
1. Parent Night is Tuesday. This changed recently and no longer matches the information on the calendars sent home. It runs from 4-6:30. There's a barbecue run by Parent Council and then a chance to look at the classroom.
2. The Terry Fox Walk is Friday. If you wish to donate, please return the forms as soon as possible. Students will be walking in the neighbourhood with their classes.
3. New poems (and levelled books for the SKs) will come home on Monday. Please ensure folders are in the Mr. Zippy for Monday.
4. Library will again be on Tuesday. Please return your books in order to get new ones.
5. Many parents have yet to send in a set of indoor shoes. These will be essential to keep our classroom livable in the coming months.
6. Also helpful is a single reusable lunch bag to hold both snacks and lunches. A backpack large enough to hold papers and the lunch bag is important as well. We want to streamline the movement of materials for students, so they can be as independent as possible.
7. Feel free to drop a note in Mr. Zippy to communicate about things of immediate concern: lost items, changes to pick up, or heads up for issues happening at home. However, if you have questions or concerns that require a longer answer, please leave a message with a number I can reach you at, or email me at lisa. goegan @tdsb.on.ca. It's important to me that I be responsive to parents, but my time in the classroom is best served by interacting with students.
There's also a QSP magazine drive and a sight/sound testing clinic form currently in circulation, so we've sprinted into the race at full speed this year already.
I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Ms. Goegan
