Field trip cancellation

Looks like I've managed to double book myself on Wednesday. I am part of a team of teachers looking at math assessment for our district, and we have our first meeting on Wednesday, so I will have to cancel our walk to Buttertubs this week. Morrell is still on for Friday, though. Drivers are still needed! Thanks

Field Trips

Buttertubs September 21 POSTPONED to Wednesday, September 26. Permissions for curling and Morrell Sanctuary are (hopefully) going home tomorrow, but I'm apparently in a tiff with the field trip software. Not sure what I did to offend it, but it doesn't like me right now. Please be prepared for short turnaround on those two if they don't go home tomorrow, since I'm away Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. Morrell - September 28 (next Friday) DRIVERS NEEDED ! Curling - October 10, 17, and 24: $12, DRIVERS NEEDED , helmets and clean running/curling shoes are required. Other dates to remember: - October 4&5 - pro-d days - October 12 - Buttertubs (yup, again) - October 15-18 early dismissal for parent-teacher interviews - October 19 - pro-d day

Welcome back to school

As we know as parents of 10-12 year olds, communication is key. Unfortunately, 10-12 year olds are not particularly proficient in this area. So, here's what we'll do: Planners. Every day. Please check them. I do not require students to write what they have already completed, and our "QQ" (Question quotidienne: Daily Question) is usually optional, but will occasionally be required. I'll post pictures here of the planner on a regular basis. Not necessarily daily, but at least weekly, and hopefully more regularly than that. I'll periodically post information that is critical on this blog to make sure that you have access to it. Sometimes it will be in full, sometimes it will be a "please watch for a notice home about..." A bit about me I have a husband, Todd, who coaches PeeWee hockey - so many of my students know Coach Todd. I am a hockey wife, and a hockey mom. Most of my examples about extracurricular activities will be about hockey. W
