August 31 – September 4

Hello ES team! Thanks to each of you for another smooth week. Students are engaged and happy! This upcoming week will give each of us a chance to professionally develop together and enjoy a mid-week Wednesday holiday! We hope all of you have plans for a relaxing and rejuvenating day!

If you have a chance, have a look at this display outside the Grades 1-5 Art Rooms.
All students G1-G5 are represented! How awesome!

Entry and Exit Procedures: We continue to work on these. It is our hope that we can streamline these for teachers, students, and parents. Thanks for your patience as we continue to make adjustments and improvements. We will get this right!

Lunch and Recess Guidelines: Special thanks to both Kristin and Raye for working on updating the recess and lunch procedures. This was a project started with Donna, and we are working on finalizing it and sharing it out. Stay tuned for more details and perhaps another, more effective, iteration of the infamous duty roster!

ES Sunshine Committee: Let’s spread some cheer and support our ES community! I would like to begin this work anew this year. If you like to organize events that celebrate and support others, please join me! If you are interested in attending an initial brainstorming and planning session please send me (Mel) an email and we will get to work soon!
