Hello Families,

We hope you had a great spring break and that you are enjoying the weather forecast as much as we are! Here are a few notes for this week:

Field Trip to Horse Barn: Yesterday a permission slip went home with elementary students (and a few more) regarding our fun barn session next Friday. Please return it by tomorrow if at all possible and by Thursday at the latest so appropriate arrangements can be made.

No School Fri & Mon: A reminder that there is no school on Friday, April 7 and Monday, April 10 for Easter weekend. The miracle of the season gives us reason to celebrate and we are thankful to have time off of school to do so.

Canadian Achievement Tests: Next week and the following week, our Gr 3-9 students will be participating in the Canadian Achievement Tests (CAT). These tests measure aspects of their reading, writing and math skills. We encourage you to do your best to ensure your child attends regularly, gets enough sleep, and eats breakfast. We want each child to do their best to accurately reflect their skills to themselves, to you and to us. We use these tests to help guide our program planning for classes, as well as individual students.

Gr 12 Literacy Assessment: Our Literacy 12 assessment date moved to Wed April 26th instead of the 25th. This is a graduation requirement.

May God bless you with faith and family this Easter!

Mrs. Atherton
