WEEK OF JAN. 6-10

WELCOME BACK!!! I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable holiday break 😁

Mon. Jan. 6

• Please ask your student to take a quick survey of their class materials this week and replace anything necessary (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.)
• Don't forget to bring instruments/music back for band!
• Book exchange at 12:45pm - please bring any books from home that need to be returned or renewed
• SCC meeting in the LRC @ 6pm

*We will be starting to use the BLOOMZ communication and behaviour tool today. Before the break, this system was introduced to the class and we discussed some of the behaviours that we would like to track and target to further build community as the year progresses. To start, this will be used only IN CLASS for monitoring purposes, but as we familiarize ourselves with the application, we will be opening it up to parents and students to that we might create profiles and portfolios that can be accessed at home. Right now, however, all information will be private and only accessible by me. Please feel free to ask your student about their progress and how they like the system over the next couple weeks! I will send out an information page through email...please keep a look out for it!
