ETC 2016 & Field Testing
Dear All,
Attached is a flyer for the ETC 2016 coming up in March, 2016. Looks like an awesome list of wonderful speakers and workshop presenters! To make it even better, teachers at our school have also applied to present at ETC 2016! A part of the application process requires them to do a field test at school. In fact, the first field test is happening this Wednesday, October 14th during 2nd lunch. It will be great if you can come and listen to the presentation, and support your colleague.
On Week 11, there will be other field tests happening throughout the week. Please come and support your colleagues as they share about their presentations. I will send out a list of time and location soon!
Thanks so much!

Sit and Chat extra long during lunch this week!
In order to make duty times work during trip week, the G1-5 students need to stay in the cafeteria a little longer than usual after eating lunch. Please ask your students how they might stay seated and wait respectfully for the cue to leave from the supervising teachers. They will need to show some patience.
Thank you to Ms Neila and Ms Dorothy who will valiantly hold the cafeteria fort down until 12:55. Ms Eleanor, Ms Cherry, Ms Anna, Mr. Lockwood, Ms Debbie and Ms Jacqui W. will be ready for the second duty when the students file out of the cafeteria calmly and respectfully.
Pfrang Day Thanks
Very many thanks to everyone involved in helping to make Pfrang Day another successful event. We couldn’t do it without you. Thanks to you, our students will continue to receive an education, giving them greater opportunity in the future.
