PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
We are off to a great start! We have several new students
this year so our enrolment is up to 180. The children are settling into
school routine and getting to know their new teachers. It is wonderful
to have such a great group of children who are so enthusiastic about learning.
We had our first assembly to outline expectations for
student behaviour as well as review the two most important rules we all
must follow: Respect all people including yourself, and respect all property
including your own. Following these will certainly help keep us on track.
This year we are also implementing a strategy called "Living
Above the Line" that helps children (and adults) to learn how to take responsibility
for their actions, attitudes and behaviour. It is a simple technique that
children understand easily helping them understand that they are in control
and how to make good choices. I'm sure you will be hearing about it.
