PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Our Gr. 7 Leadership Team is excited to host our Holiday Pancake Breakfast. All families are invited
to join us on Wednesday December 13th from 7:30am - 8:25am. The cost to attend is $5/plate
(includes pancakes and juice box). You may pre-purchase on ‘School Cash Online’ as only a limited
number of tickets will be available to purchase at the door on the day. Please note, all students must be
supervised by an adult in order to attend.

HOLIDAY PERFORMANCE ASSEMBLIES


We will be celebrating the holiday season with an exciting line-up of performances by our students.
This year, all classes will be presenting in their own unique way (i.e.: song, dance, playing a musical
instrument, video recording). We will be having performance assemblies on the following dates/times:
Div. 1-11: Tuesday December 19th at 1pm
Div. 12-27: Wednesday December 20th at 1pm
Due to capacity restrictions, classes will be coming in to the gym, performing with their class and then
returning to their classrooms for the duration of the afternoon. Please note, a limited number of seats
will be available to parents. More information will be sent out closer to the date.

TERM 1 REPORT CARDS


All teachers communicate student progress in an on-going way through either the SPACES digital
portfolios or other (non-digital) collections/evidence of learning. Communicating Student Learning
(CSL) includes capturing learning, conferencing and reporting. Teachers all across the district have two
options to communicate student learning formally at different points of the year using either the CSL
Template Report Card or through SPACES.
On Thursday December 21st, parents will receive information from their child’s teacher. Parents will
either be receiving a template Report Card outlining their child’s progress over the first term or will be
receiving a cover-page letter to remind parents to check their child’s digital SPACES portfolio. Both of
these district-approved methods are ways for teachers to ensure that parents are aware of their child’s
progress in the various areas of learning and are meant to provide parents with an opportunity to share
feedback.
