As many of you are aware, we will be starting the process of relocating a number of our primary classes, our library and one of our grade eight classes starting Friday of this week. As Friday is a professional activity (PA) day your children will not feel the effects of this move if they are in one of the classes below until they return to their newly set up classes first day back after March Break!
The classes that are moving are as follows:
Ms. Nakada's class will be moving from the Kindergarten room to room 10 across the hall.
Ms. Kuczynski's class will be moving from Room 10 to a new portable classroom.
Ms. Yeung and Mr. DaPonte's classes will be moving to the library.
Ms. Shim will move from her class to Room 2.
Mr. Suleiman's class will move from Room 2 to the staff room.
Our library will move from the library after the break, to Ms. Crockett's room.
Ms. Crokett's class will move from her room to Mr. DaPonte's former classroom after the additional exit is constructed after the break.
Much thought and discussion has gone into the planning of these moves at all levels of the school and the school board. We have endeavored to make this as least disruptive to our students as possible.
Rest assured that teachers are still teaching and students are still learning. Staff is working hard to ensure that student learning is still happening. Staff will also be participating in professional learning as scheduled on Friday to ensure that student learning continues to be enhanced as school continues through the last third of our school year.
Many thanks to our teachers who have been working hard to pack boxes and get ready for this move on their own time as they continue to teach our students. Also thanks to our caretakers and other staff and colleagues who are working to support our teachers and students through this change.
