Lunch Routines: parents please connect with your child regarding arrangements made to leave school property, returning to the schoolyard and following through on safety expectations. Also, discuss impromptu lunch house visits which are putting pressure on peers to eat at others' homes especially without prior arrangements. The ongoing out-for-lunch interactions require conflict resolution time throughout the afternoon during the instructional day. Your continued support is always very much appreciated.

It was a pleasure to meet with many of the parents during parent/teacher interviews on Thursday and Friday.  I look forward to meeting with others throughout next week.  Students will be asked to reflect on their Progress Report next week and to consider the following (as these were a common trend in our class community of learners):

• Daily reading at home and at school
• In class (at home as needed) task completion (both online and paper & pencil tasks)
• Self Advocating, Risk Taking, Asking Questions
• Contributing member of your own learning (and the learning of others)
