Fish Creek Field Trip Rescheduled

Thankfully the recent dump of snow has subsided, and Fish Creek has had a chance to clean up the pathways from the damaged trees.

We have rescheduled our field trip to Friday, October 10, 2014.  We will need 4 parent volunteers for this trip.  If you are able to join us, please send a note in your child's agenda, or email Mrs. Tran at krihenderson@cbe.ab.ca to let us know.

Updated field trip forms will be coming home in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for your support and flexibility.  

Fish Creek Trip CANCELLED

Unfortunately, due to a number of damaged trees and some unsafe conditions along the pathways, our field trip to Fish Creek Park is cancelled until further notice.  We are hopeful that we can reschedule for a later date and will keep you updated as we hear more information.

Thank you to all parents who stepped up to volunteer.  We will contact you again as soon as we know more information.

Field Trip Rescheduled

New Immunization FAQ Website

Alberta Health Services has just launched it's new website: http://immunizealberta.ca .  This is a great resource for parents and anyone else wanting to know more about how immunizations work, if you should immunize your child, etc.

In grade 5, you should have noticed immunization consent forms come home recently.  Please make sure to return these forms to your child's classroom teacher as soon as possible.  If you have questions about immunizations, please visit the website link above, or call the school to speak to our school nurse.  

A Note About Spelling & the Welcome Back BBQ

WELCOME BACK BBQ

Don't Forget: Thursday, September 4th, is our Welcome Back BBQ from 6-8 pm.  It is a great time to meet your child's teachers, as well as learn about some of the great community resources available to you.  

Everyone in your family is invited!  We hope to see you there.

SPELLING MATTERS

Why does spelling matter?

Today you should notice a navy blue duo-tang in your child's backpack which contains their weekly spelling work.  New spelling words will come home at the beginning of the week, and homework will always be due Thursday.  Your child will also write their spelling words in the agenda when a new spelling list is given so that they always have access to these words.

Please help your child find a time to practice their spelling words throughout the week, as we will have regular spelling tests on Fridays.  

A couple of websites to practice the spelling words are: Spelling City (http://www.spellingcity.com) and Kids Spell (http://www.kidsspell.com).  Please make sure to have your child enter their own spelling words on these websites in the "create a custom list" or "enter your words" category.

Thank you for supporting your child's learning!
