    Newsletter #3 – November 2023

    PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
    The fall season is in full swing here at ARE, with many different activities taking place. Our school
    recently completed in the District Cross Country races for both our primary and intermediate
    students. This year we were fortunate that we stayed fairly dry with minimal amount of rain. We
    had a tremendous turnout of over 100 students for the two races! And volleyball is wrapping up and
    a big thank you to our coaches, Mrs. McCafferty, Mrs. Gowan, Mrs. Diamond, and Mrs. Arcand. We
    now look forward to basketball in the new year.

    To bring in Halloween, our wonderful PAC hosted a dance for the community on October 27 th, which
    was very well-attended. And our Halloween parade in the gym was a big hit with so many of our
    students dressed up. Thank you to our parents for encouraging student participation ☺

    And a reminder that next week will be a short one with November 10th being a non-instructional day
    and the Remembrance Day holiday on November 13th. We will be holding our Remembrance Day
    assembly on November 9th this year.

    Finally, our Scholastic Book Fair will be held during the week of December 4th-8th. Like last year,
    we will host the event on-site at the school while offering an online sales part as well. Please note
    that the Fair will be open for extended hours on the afternoon of December 7th and all day on
    December 8th, due to the Student Inclusive Conferences.

    UPCOMING DATES:
    November 9 – Remembrance Day Assembly
    November 10 – Non-instructional Day (no school)
    November 13 – Remembrance Day STAT (no school)
    November 21 – Gr 6 Immunizations – first dose
    DRESS FOR THE WEATHER
    As we are well into the cold, wet months, be sure to dress your
    kids appropriately for the weather with coats, boots, umbrellas,
    etc. We go outside at recesses and lunches every day, so a
    spare set of clothes in your child’s backpack is a good idea.
    Getting out in the fresh air keeps us healthy and reduces the
    amount of time we spend in the building!

    STUDENT CONFERENCES

    The Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (SD42) will be offering families a choice
    for student inclusive conferences this year. This is a time when you, your child and the
    teacher meet. These formal term 1 and 2 conferences will be offered as either in person
    or virtual to allow families the choice that works best for them. At the time of booking,
    you will be offered the choice of conference type. Teachers will let you know when the
    specific times for virtual conferences will be.

    Please watch for a message on when you will be able to book your conference in the SD42
    Parent Portal.

    During the conference, teachers will discuss your child’s academic learning, strengths, and
    areas to develop, then set a collaborative learning goal for your child. You will also be able
    to ask any questions you may have.

    Your child’s classroom teacher looks forward to engaging with you and your child during
    this important reporting event.

    Thursday, December 7, 2023 – Early Dismissal at 11:30 for the afternoon conferences

    Friday, December 8, 2023 – No school as conferences will be taking place all day

    TERRY FOX

    Thank you once again to the generosity of our community as we were able to raise over
    $1100 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
    WINTER FESTIVAL
    Once again, this year, in lieu of our primary Christmas concert, we will be holding a school-
    wide Winter Festival in February. Teachers will be organizing different stations for
    students with a Canadian Winter/Carnivale theme. All students will be participating in the
    STEM/arts & craft types of stations. We would love to have parent volunteers joining us
    for the festival. Please stay tuned for more information for you in upcoming newsletters.
