Message from the Head of School – March 11, 2022

Conferences
A reminder that conferences will be held next Friday, March 18. I encourage you to sign up for conferences to share and learn about your child’s growth and progress. Secondary parents and guardians, I encourage you to review the Term 3 report, available Tuesday on MangeBac and then sign up for conferences with teachers to support your child’s learning in courses. Engaged parents and guardians in the learning life of children improve academic results and those same children are better prepared for the challenges ahead. 

The cumulative effects of more frequent and higher-quality interactions among teachers and parents are a greater reservoir of trust and respect, increased social capital for children, and a school community more supportive of each child’s school success. (Redding, 2004)

Blood Drive
Thank you to those community members who donated blood to the Red Cross. The PTA has organized these donations for the past three years – thank you PTA Executive and members – for supporting health in our community.

BIS Facilities Use
For those of you interested in using our school facilities over the weekend, please note that the covered court will be unavailable between 9 am and 1 pm on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

I wish you all a restorative weekend ahead, 

Garth
