September 5 – 9

 

 

Greetings, Avonlea School families!

 

Welcome back, everyone! We were so happy to be able to greet enthusiastic children and parents over the last few days as we kicked off another school year.  It was wonderful to have our doors opened with excitement in the building for what the year will bring.

 

Staff began the year a few days earlier collaborating and planning for our school goals.  Thank you to our SCC members who also participated in our brainstorming session.  We will have two Learning Improvement Plan goals for the school year, as we continue to focus on Academics and the Culture of the school.  Please watch for further communication surrounding these goals in the months ahead.

 

The school calendar is becoming full of activities taking place.  You can be kept up-to-date by reading the Peeks of the Week sent out from the office, following our Facebook Page, and the SCC Facebook Page for all upcoming events and activities.  Our school webpage is also an invaluable source for families.  It is updated frequently with key documents and information.  Coming soon, we will have a live link for Saskatchewan Curriculum as well as student “I can” statements under the parent section.  (Please note – unfortunately, our website is unable to be updated right now.  As soon as Division Office fixes the glitch, it will be updated with all current information.)

 

Next week, we will be mailing packages home to each family.  Included in these packages will be Student Information Verification Forms, our school calendar magnets, a survey (more information emailed next week), as well as a short newsletter containing other pieces of information.

 

We are looking forward to settling into this new school year.  With a few new adventures being planned, it will be a year of rich learning, positivity, and fond memories.   Have a wonderful long weekend, Eagle families!

Other items of interest:

  • Can you help us out?  Our beach volleyball court is in desperate need of a redo.  Long Creek has very generously offered to provide the sand and load it for us, so now we just need to get it here!  If you have a wagon or dump truck and the time to transport it from the golf course to the school, please call Mr. Leonard here at the school to make arrangements.
