Good morning,

A couple updates for you:

Good afternoon families,

1. We added another teacher last week as some of our classrooms were getting big. We had roughly 40 new students join us in August but are now back to a comfortable pupil-teacher-ratio. Ms. Kaitlin Hardcastle is teaching grade 4/5. 

It is hard to believe but this is our last Friday with our little bisons.  Some information for you as we wrap up 2018-2019 and start planning for 2019-2020:

1.  If you expect your child to be away on Thursday (our last day) please provide a self-addressed and stamped envelope so we can mail you the progress report.  If no envelope is provided we will hang on to it until the fall.  

2.  If you are not attending our school next year please let the office know asap.  Registrations impact everything from supplies to staffing to room configurations.

Good afternoon families!  Time is flying by and the next 6 weeks will be BUSY!  Here are some school highlights:

May 23 - Final Band Concert at Balfour Collegiate - 7PM

May 24 - UBC (United Bison Council) - Student council hosts Career Day.  Students are invited to dress up after asking themselves 'What would I like to be when I grow up?' 

May 27 - The Star Lab is coming back to Wascana Plains!

May 31 - Dream Day for Learning Community C

1.  Racism: Recognize it. Reject it!  In recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination #MarchOutRacism, we are excited to invite parents, student leaders, and community members to share their cultural heritage, language, personal experiences, and stories with our school community during the first week of April.  For more information or to volunteer please click HERE.  

Good afternoon families,

Thank you for spending some time with us on Friday for our Celebration of Learning!  I trust your child was able to lead you through their environment and share some great learning experiences.  

Reminder:  Please join us at 7 PM this Thursday for the ICE presentation.  The Internet Child Exploitation Unit will be here to help us help our children be safe while using the internet.  You are welcome to park in the parking lot or in front of the school for that evening. 

Good afternoon families,

1.  Please join us March 14th at 7PM for the ICE (Internet Child Exploitation) presentation.  We'll meet on the presentation stairs. This event is being hosted by your School Community Council who meets one Thursday per month and meetings are always open to all parents.  Our next meeting is tomorrow, February 28th at 7 in Studio 2 if you are interested in attending.

2.  Our population continues to grow!  As of today we have surpassed 600!  

Good morning,

1.  Our SCC is hosting a presentation by I.C.E. (Internet Child Exploitation Unit) on Thursday, March 14 @ 7PM here at the school.  This is an adult only event as the presentation is not appropriate for those under the age of 18.  The event poster can be found HERE.  

2.  Orders are due by Friday if you want to participate in next week's Hot Lunch (Pizza).  

Good morning Bison families,

1. This week promises to be a little warmer so we should be outside for all recesses.  Unless it is -25 with the wind chill we are outside so please ensure your children come to school with all the necessary clothing. 

2. Basketball teams are up and running and games begin this week (Tuesdays for boys, Wednesdays for girls).  Our teams are also traveling to Balfour next Monday for the feeder tournament.  Best of luck to all the players and their coaches!

Good afternoon families,

You will have received a note regarding the concert today from your classroom teacher.  Students and teachers are busy preparing and there is candy cane fever throughout the building!  We look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday.  Anyone willing or able to direct traffic in the church parking lot are encouraged to call the office to volunteer as we expect a full house and need all staff participation inside for the show itself.
