Updates to the HUB effective TODAY, Monday, November 11, 2024.
Please revie
w the Learning in the HUB guide with your students and encourage them to explore less familiar areas (e.g., Grades 4-5 on the second and third floors, Grades 6-10 on the third floor and back area of the first floor). BTT teachers should reinforce the “Purposeful, Respectful, Responsible” principles by navigating these spaces.
Parents at Coffee Morning on Wednesday were introduced to these principles, and a post was also added to the weekly bulletin.
We look forward to continued learning in the HUB. Your ideas and feedback are valuable, so please share them using this open form.
