Monday Message: November 24th

Dear Andrew Sibbald Families,

Once again, thank you to those who volunteered for the Casino Fundraiser last week. We are grateful for the opportunities that our students receive because of your commitment. Thank you, also for the ‘mashed potato’ staff appreciation. It was enjoyed by all last week.

Parent Teacher Conferences – Thursday & Friday

Teachers are very much looking forward to connecting with you for Parent Teacher Conferences this week. This is a time for you to have a formal check in around your child’s understanding of the outcomes taught thus far. If you are unable to make an appointment, please do reach out to your child’s teacher to rebook. Both experience and research suggest that parent engagement impacts student success and achievement. Thanks for being awesome partners in your child’s learning.

Offsite Learning Experiences at Sibbald this Week

Our Kindergarten students are off to visit the Parkland Fire Station this week! Thank you to the volunteers who will be taking this community walk with our students. It should be an exciting one.

Grade Two students are off to enjoy a day of learning at Studio Bell National Music Center this week. Thank you to the parent volunteers joining the trip to support our students, and to the Andrew Sibbald Parent Association for covering the cost of bussing for this field trip.

Winter Concert – Newsletter emailed

Last Friday morning, Mrs. Odegard emailed all families information related to our Winter Concerts coming up in December. We are really looking forward to these evening performances to showcase student learning & our awesome Gr. 3-5 Choir!

Photo Retakes – Thursday

Parents – just a reminder that photo retakes take place for students this Thursday morning. Please be sure your child’s teacher and the office are aware that your child is getting photo retakes done. Thank you!
