Hello Arbour Vista Families,
It's hard to believe we've reached the time of year to reflect on and celebrate our students' many achievements through Progress Reports. We look forward to welcoming you to the school for parent-teacher interviews. This is also a great opportunity to check the Lost and Found for any missing personal items.
Picture Retakes
We're happy to announce that picture retakes are happening on the morning of Wednesday, November 20th! This is a great opportunity for anyone who missed the first session or wants a fresh photo.
dancEd
A HUGE thank you to our Parent Council and for the efforts of our community to donate to our Dance-a-thon with Professor Jamz. Students had an amazing time. With the monies raised, we were able to reduce the cost of dancEd by $10 per child.
The instructors from dancEd will be back with us starting November 25th, with our Grand Finale on December 13. Be sure to mark the date on your calendar. It is one of our most anticipated events all year.
Payment for dancEd is now on CashOnline. The cost per student is now $17.00 (from the original $27.00).
Progress Reports & Interviews
Progress Reports were uploaded on November 13th to the Parent Portal. The online booking system for interviews is now open and will close on November 27th at noon. If you miss the deadline, you may contact your child’s homeroom teacher to discuss availability. Please follow the link to set up an interview with your child’s teacher.

Give the Gift of Sweetness this Holiday Season
~A Note From Your Council
Looking for the perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer ? Well, your parent council is here to help! We will be selling $20 gift cards to the amazing (and local) Lady Glaze Donuts, to help raise funds for our end of year Family Fun Night. Whether you’re treating your kiddos to a classic sprinkle donut, saying thank you to a teacher, or spreading holiday cheer to family and friends, these gift cards are a sweet way to give!
Best part? There is no expiry date- and these cards are good for any of their locations (Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener, London), so your gift is good all year around.
Go ahead and cross off a few gifts from your list!
Eat Your Heart Out, Vipers!

Inclement Weather
Bad weather is an inevitable part of winter, so it is important to stay informed about where to get updates/alerts about bus cancellations and delays (i.e. STWDSTS). You will also want to familiarize yourself with where info gets posted about school closures due to inclement weather (i.e. UGDSB websites and social).
Have a great week,
Mme. Hare
