Although winter still feels far from over some days, we are
now halfway through the school year. With report cards coming home, this
is a good time to review progress and celebrate what your children have learned
both inside and outside of the classroom. This is also a good time to set goals
for the months ahead.
One of our goals set out in the Board of Trustees’ Multi-Year
Plan is to “continuously increase student achievement and well-being
through a culture of caring and learning.” Developing this supportive
culture includes engaging parents/guardians and other members of the school
community in public education and working together to create safe and
supportive school environments that enable students to thrive.
As parents/guardians, there are many ways you can get
engaged in your child’s education and support their learning, including talking
with them about school, communicating with teachers, attending school events or
school council meetings, and volunteering in the school. However you get
involved, know that you are making a difference.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I wish you all the best
an enjoyable and successful second term.
