Late Start: The final late start of the year will take place on Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Please ensure that you mark your calendars. I am aware that there are many families in our community that find the late start quite stressful. I have spoken to Mr. McFarland and he is in the process of reviewing the late start practice.
New Kindergarten Meeting: There will be a meeting on Tuesday, May 18, 2010, for all of the new kindergarten parents for September 2010. The meeting will take place in the French room at 7:00 pm.
No School: Please note that there will not be any school on Monday, May 24, 2010, and Tuesday, May 25, 2010.
Ned: The Ned show will take place in the Theatre on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, from 1:45pm-2:30pm. There will be yo-yos on sale following the show, starting Thursday, May 27, 2010. You have been given a pre-order and you may send those into the school at any time. The boys will be able to compete in a grade level yo-yo contest in June. The boys may bring the yo-yos to school, where they may play with them in a designated yo-yo zone. (The track) Please ensure that all yo-yos are clearly labeled with your son’s name. *All kindergarten students are to come in the afternoon on May, 26, 2010, as this is a late start day.
Library Books: All library books are to be returned to the library on May 27, 2010, as the library will be closed for inventory from May 31, 2010, to June 4, 2010.
Mass: The next school Mass will take place on Thursday, June 10, 2010.
We are excited to celebrate the fact that the Grade Two boys have received their First Communion. This is a joyous time in their life as they are filled with the Spirit. *All kindergarten students are scheduled to come in the morning for this Mass day.
Panorama Photo: If you would like to purchase the kindergarten to grade six-school photo, please go directly to www.artonagroup.com to order the photo. The school private gallery code is VCOL. Please use capital letters.
Last Day of School: The last day of school for this year is Thursday, June 24, 2010. School will begin as usual. We will celebrate Mass at 9:30am. Directly after the Mass the boys will go to their classroom to pick up their report card and then they will be dismissed at 11:00 am.
Please ensure that the boys have all of their personal belongings, as anything left behind will be given to charity. *All kindergarten students are scheduled to come to school in the morning.
Grade 6 Year End: Traditionally, there have been some grade six moms who have organized a year-end gathering for the Gr. 6 boys after the last Mass. This has been as informal as pizza in the classroom or a potluck lunch in Cartier Hall. If you are interested in organizing this event, please let me know.
Fun Day: Fun Day will take place on Monday, June 21, 2010. In order for this day to be successful we require a significant number of volunteers. We will be sending home a volunteer sheet shortly.
Lost and Found: I have a size 7/8 red and white Canada Olympic hoodie from the Bay in my office. I am missing a size 11/12 red and white Canada Olympic hoodie from the Bay. The boys seemed to have mixed up the hoodies. If your son wears a hoodie as described above, please check to ensure that he has the appropriate one.
Finnegan Out of School Care Program: This week I will send home a survey sheet for the out of school care program. We will be surveying the new kindergarten parents as well. Once we find out how many people need the service, we will then send home a registration package. Priority will be given to students who are currently in the program. |
