The Weekly Feb. 23 to Feb. 27 2026
It was a short week but a fun week with a visit from Bonhomme to end or mini Carnaval. The masks were amazing! Next week brings Lunar New Year to classes (Feb. 24) as well as Pink shirt day (Feb. 25) and a recognition/sharing assembly with a presentation from Div. 9. We will start at 10:45 (ish).
Student Led Conferences March 3: Classes will not be in session on that day (March 3). Please reply to this email if NOT having your child at school on March 3 would be super-challenging for you so we can plan accordingly. If you have not signed up for a student led conference time-slot, please check Ms. Tozer’s emails for instructions, or see below for details from last week.

FYI We will be using the same system as parent teacher conferences and the time slots are set for 40 mins with 4 spots in each slot. The system needs them to be off by a min, so please know that if you sign up for 8:42, you can show up at 8:40.
Here are the time slots (despite it looking like they are only a 1 min):
8:40 – 9:20
9:25 – 10:05
10:30 – 11:10
11:15 – 11:55
