Dressing Appropriately For The Weather
Dear Families,
Please note that all students are expected to dress appropriately for outdoor activities no matter what the weather is. Outdoor play is valuable and students are expected to be outside daily during our regularly scheduled recesses (i.e., lunch and recess). We ask that all students come to school with appropriate rainy/cold weather clothes. Most days students will go outside, even on wet/cold days, so it is important that they are dressed for the seasonal weather extremes. With the weather being so unpredictable here in Toronto, your children should always be prepared for wet and blustery weather. Students will not be permitted to remain indoors during recesses, as we do not have adequate supervision at that time. We thank you for your understanding and support with this matter.
Room 310 - World Water Day Blurb
Friday, March 22nd, 2024 was World Water Day. Various classrooms around the school recognized this important day in all kinds of valuable ways. We would like to highlight the efforts of one classroom in particular. The Grade 3s and 4s in Room 310 discussed the importance of this day and highlighted the importance of ALL PEOPLE having access to CLEAN WATER. Room 310 listened to the story, Nibi’s Water Song and had some great, rich discussions surrounding Nibi’s experience with a lack of clean drinking water, what she did to fix the problem and how she got her community involved. They were able to connect this story to indigenous activist Autumn Peltier, whom the class began studying on International Women’s Day. Autumn Peltier’s work is all about ensuring that all First Nations communities have access to clean water.
Primary Puzzle Club
Here are some photos from our primary puzzle club. On a weekly basis, students have enjoyed challenging themselves to different puzzles. What a fun way to get students to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while encouraging them to think outside the box. Thank you to both Ms. Casselman and Mme Viner for their weekly efforts running this amazing club!

Ramadan Continues Source: Shelley Laskin's Weekly Updates
Ramadan is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity that exists within our school communities. For many Muslim students (and staff), observing Ramadan through fasting brings a great sense of fulfillment and community. Please see these shared tips that schools can use to support students who are observing and promote inclusion throughout Ramadan. For more information on the duty to accommodate, please click here
