Dear Teachers,
Please note the ISA testing schedule below that will necessitate some disruption to classes on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience. Invigilators have been notified. If you normally teach this grade during the testing time and you are not invigilating, your class will be cancelled. This is a change to previous years as the tests are online and are for Writing only.
Dear Teachers, If you are invigilating an ISA test next week please attend the training session that Cindy will run on Monday February 20th at 3.45pm. Bring your computers and the ISA testing handbook.

Have you heard a lot of chatter about Creative New Undertakings in Grade 4 this year? Have you wondered what this is all about? Do you want to know more? On Friday, February 17th the Grade 4 students are going to present their progress and thinking about their Creative New Undertakings project to the entire school community. Please join us in the foyer in front of the library from 9:20-10:40 to discover more about exciting student-driven inquiry projects. You will see authors, designers, bakers, woodworkers, filmmakers, cartoonists, builders, interior designers, inventors, problem solvers, and thinkers. We hope you all can make it to this special event.
