Classroom News - March 12

Ask your son/daughter about today's "Algebra" Math test...as well as the movie, "Apollo 13" - the film we enjoyed to wrap-up the Gr. 6 Solar Systems outcome.  

Some "unexpected" news came yesterday from the GSSD regarding our Term 2 Report Cards:

Due to a problem with our report card software, there is an error with the "Attendance" portion of the report card. As such, we are unable to print your child's report card until this problem is resolved. We are assured that this issue will be fixed and that we will be able to go ahead with printing on Monday. We will then be able to hand out the report cards on Tuesday, March 16th. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Feel free to contact the office with any questions or concerns you may have.

On a positive note, our Term 2 "Student-Led Conferences" are still scheduled for Wednesday, March 24 and Thursday, March 25.  Conferences will take place using ZOOM.  Phone calls can also be made if families are unable to access ZOOM.  Conference times have been scheduled and confirmation sheets were sent home yesterday.  Please contact the school ASAP if there are any problems with your scheduled time.  

Homework:
Read a good book!

Reminders:
Just a reminder that the SCC Purdy's Chocolatier fundraiser is due Thursday, March 18.
