Dear Davisville and Spectrum families,
We had a great week at school with students enjoying some
much-needed sunshine and outdoor activity. The grade 1, 2 and 3 students had
fun making creations with loose natural parts. Some students even made “worm
terrariums.” Thanks to the rain, we saw a lot of worms! They also continued
playing games like Red Light Green Light (adding purple, blue and yellow light
to make the game more complicated), Shadow Tag and reading books. All students
are continuing to enjoy the Zone bins of equipment at recess. Soccer is an
absolute favourite. Our continued thanks go out to Ms. Francesca for the
additional time and effort she puts forth every day to ensure the bins are
there for the students.
We continue to meet virtually with Lynne, Geordie and
Charles regarding a portion of the playground at the new school. Thanks to
their dedicated efforts and collaboration with City Councillor, Josh Matlow,
Trustee Shelley Laskin, and TDSB staff, a proposal is going forward for a
potentially funded playground for the new school. Watch for more details
coming.
Lynne has also been working with the Councillor’s office,
TDSB Transportation and TDSB staff, along with the school to ensure safe
pedestrian, cycling and vehicle traffic around the new school area. Traffic
patterns will change once the new school opens. It is vital we have a clearly
signed and communicated traffic plan to ensure the safety of all. We are
working on an electronic and hardcopy package for all families that will
include simple maps and guidelines.
Each year, students in Spectrum compete in a Remembrance Day
art and literature competition. There are 4 categories for which students are
invited to submit an entry; black and white poster, colour poster, poem and
essay. Each year, students in Spectrum excel in this competition. This year is
no exception. On Monday, we will be visiting the students to share the
excellent news and awards. We will share student names and awards in the next
edition.
Spectrum students are busy preparing for their musical.
Rehearsals are going well and we can’t wait to virtually see the final
production. Congratulations on all the hard work and effort you’ve put in so
far.
Spectrum Council is coming up on Wednesday, March 31st at 6:30 pm. Zoom invitation

If you have any change of pick up plans for the end of the
day, please fill out the Bus Change form by 2:00 pm every day. This helps us
ensure the safe dismissal of all students. Thank you.
Thank you for helping us stay vigilant in keeping all our
staff, students and families safe as we continue the battle against COVID19.
