Hello Arbour Vista Families,
Thank you to all of you who made it out to our Primary Family Math Night. We had such a great turn out and it was lovely to see so many smiling faces. We hope you were able to pick up a few fun ideas about how you can incorporate math into everyday tasks with your children.
A big thank you to our School Council for planning and executing such a wonderful evening. These activities would not be possible without the help of our dedicated school community. We are always looking for people who can dedicate some time, no matter how much, to support our efforts. Please consider joining our School Council. Our next virtual meeting is April 1st. Many hands make light work.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during Friday morning's drop-off. Despite the unplowed parking lot, tarmac, and bus lanes, your cooperation made a big difference. Your kindness and support truly reflect the strength of our school community.
REPORT CARDS
Report Cards have been uploaded to the Parent Portal for parent viewing. We ask that families please complete the reflection page after reading their student’s Report Card and return it to their student’s teacher. Please direct any questions to your student’s teacher. The return page can be found in the linked HERE
NEW PARENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The board is switching its provider for how we send out mass emails/phone calls/text messages to staff and families. You shouldn’t notice much of a change with this switch, however there are a few differences that we want to make sure you’re aware of. First, in the event that a text message is sent to a group (e.g. all staff or to all parents/guardians at a school), the message will come from the following shortcode: 277849.
STUDENT CELL PHONES USE AT SCHOOL
We kindly remind you that students should refrain from using cell phones during the school day, including transition times, lunch breaks, and outdoor activities. If there is a need for communication during the day, please feel free to relay messages through the main office.
Additionally, please be aware that if students bring cell phones or earphones to school, they do so at their own risk, as the school cannot be held responsible for any misplaced, lost, or stolen items.
We truly appreciate your cooperation in reinforcing these guidelines to help us maintain a focused and respectful learning environment for all students.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Have a great week,
Mme Hare
