News and Information
Learning Opportunity – FamilySmart – Youth Mental Health
May 4th from 6–8pm online – Dr. Ross Greene will be speaking about how Collaborative and Proactive Solutions can help us show our kids we care about them. Solving problems together creates connection and allows our children to be a part of finding solutions to what is causing their concerning behaviour. Dr. Greene’s work reminds us that things go better for everyone, when we solve problems together and that kids do well if they can.
The Sun is coming!
As the forecast appears to be moving towards sun and warm, don’t forget to make sure your child has adequate water, and some sunscreen on for our outside times. A sunhat can’t hurt, either. Mr. Oliver can’t wait to show of his new sunhat, though he maybe should be waiting for crazy hat day to do that!
We’re already planning for September 2023 (repeat)
As we work on organizing the school for September 2023, we would very much appreciate you letting us know if you are planning to move away from our school. Every seat we expect to have will be in high demand, and it helps us a lot to know in advance if students will be leaving.
Spring Concert Tickets (repeat)
We are excited to welcome you aboard Music World, Flight 223 this May. Our students and staff are working hard to prepare a sharing of some of their world music learning from this year.
Showtimes are as follows:
May 10 – 1pm matinee
May 11 – 1pm matinee
May 11 – 6:30 pm
Because we have over 600 students, tickets will be limited.
Ticket Limits – 2 tickets per family at the 6:00 pm performance, and 4 tickets per family for the 1:00pm performances. This is to ensure all families have access to tickets for the performances. Tickets are reserved/issued on a first come first served basis, whether it is the night or afternoon concert.
Tickets will be available on School Cash Online staring Monday April 17th. For fire safety regulations all attending should have a seat, excluding young infants. Please bring your receipt as proof of purchase for entry.
We ask that parents attending the concert stay for the ENTIRE concert so as not to distract the performers or interrupt the performance. This also ensures that all students have an audience, from the first group on stage until the last.
For the evening performance, students are asked to be in their classrooms at 6:15pm (no earlier please). The children will be escorted into the gym to perform. Teachers will be supervising in their classroom when students are not performing.
Doors will open 15 minutes before the performance.
Our hope is that all students will have special guests who are able to view a performance and that all students have the experience of a full audience in front of which to perform.
Thank you for your co-operation. We look forward to a successful day of concerts.
