Dear Andrew Sibbald Families,
Please join us this Wednesday evening for our School Council Meeting. We will meet in the Learning Commons at 7:00 p.m. The Gr. 3 Teachers (Mrs. Braun and Mrs. Swanson) and Gr. 5 Teachers (Ms. Chen and Mrs. Sampson) we be sharing short reports and celebrating some of the awesome learning happening in their classrooms. Agendas for the School Council and Association Meetings will be sent out in advance.
We hope the Jeff Stockton storytelling performances were enjoyed by all last week. Check out some of this learning in Gr. 1, Gr. 2 and Gr. 3.
Valentine’s Day (Information Previously Shared)
Valentine’s Day is a wonderful time to celebrate the themes of belonging and friendship at school. Teachers will be setting aside a few minutes at the end of the day on February 12th (February 11th for our Tues/Thurs Kinders) so students can distribute Valentine cards to their classmates. A few requests from the teachers – labelling the cards with your child’s name and “friend” is helpful in the younger grades. Second, please ensure that your child has a card for everyone in the class, if they would like to share (there is no obligation to!) Please know that there won’t be any class parties or food sharing of any kind. Kindly keep special treats for home time. Thank you!
Family Day Weekend
Parents, we hope you and your families have an awesome Family Day long weekend. As a staff, we look forward to the upcoming Calgary City Teachers Convention and Support Staff Convention on Thursday and Friday of this week. The purpose of these conventions is for support staff and teachers to engage in professional learning and have the opportunity to learn with and from each other. We’re always grateful for this time. Due to Convention, there is no school for students on Thursday or Friday this week. Monday, February 17th is a holiday for both staff and students.
