Hello Faith North Community!
Welcome back!
This is one of the most productive times of the year. The children return from break hungary for work. We see tremendous, social, emotional and academic gains in the late winter and early spring. Spend time daily discussing the work your children are doing at school, enjoying family literacy time in the evenings, playing all of those board games received during the holidays and include your children in practical life activities around the home and yard. The primary students will be having a "Show Me Night" on January 30th. Please plan on attending with your primary child so that they can educate you as to their work in the environments.
Sign ups for afterschool classes have begun in the Faith North School office. The offerings have been sent electronically and will be posted on the school website. There are a few old favorites returning as well as a few new classes. Also, we have made some changes in the afterschool open campus. Beginning January 7th, the campus gates will be closed and anyone visiting the school after office hours (7:30-4:00)will enter through the front office door. The desk will be attended by afternoon PEER staff. If your child will be attending afterschool classes please wait just outside of the office door and your child will greet you there.
Wednesday evening, January 9th we will hold our Site Council and PTA meetings at Faith North main campus. Notmykid will be doing a presentation for parents on Internet Safety at 5:00. Childcare will be provided. The PTA meeting will follow at 6:00 in the multi-use room. I look forward to seeing you there.
All the best,
Susan Engdall
Principal
