Kindly check your email for FSA practice materials and work through the questions with your child in preparation for the upcoming assessments.

Important Announcements for Grade 4 Parents

Dear Parents,

1. Yesterday, I shared the schedule for the Goal Setting Conference, which will take place on Thursday, October 9, 2025, and Friday, October 10, 2025.
   Please ensure you complete the questionnaire and bring it along to the conference so that we can discuss it together.

2. Student Dress Code:
   Students must wear their school uniform when accompanying their parents to the conference.
   Please note, there will be no school on Friday. Only students scheduled for meetings on that day should come with their parents at their allotted time.

3. Please ensure you arrive on time for the upcoming Goal Conference, as each family is allotted only 10 minutes.

4. A donation form was recently sent home with students. Kindly go through it.

5. Also, a reminder that many students have not yet submitted their Visual Art artwork. Kindly make sure your child turns it in by tomorrow.

Classroom Reminders

Dear Parents,

1. Please note that there will be no P.E. tomorrow as we have our school Mass. Students are requested to come dressed in their regular school uniforms.

2. In class, we discussed Thanksgiving Day and decided to decorate our classroom to reflect the celebration. We would greatly appreciate it if you could send along any Thanksgiving decorations you already have at home. Please do not purchase anything new - items from previous years would be perfect. An indigenous touch would also be most welcome. Kindly label the items so that we can easily return them after use.

3. The students have also been asked to think of decoration ideas at home. They will be sharing their suggestions tomorrow, and we will discuss them together in class. 

4. A gentle reminder: Students who have not yet returned their Goal Setting Conference form are requested to submit it by tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the final day for submission.

Thank you so much for your support!
