Anything Look Familiar?
Lost & Found Items
Our Lost and Found items are looking to be reunited with their owners. Does something look familiar here? There is much more lost and found. We'd like to give a friendly reminder to put your child's name in their jackets and other belonging that come to school to make it easier to reunite them with their owners if they get lost. All lost and found items will be on display at the school during Parent-Student-Teacher interviews on November 16 & 17th. But, if you feel that your child is missing something that might be at the school, ask Melissa at Reception and she'll help you have a look.

November Parent Workshop
More often than not, parents try to change behaviour through punishments, rewards, and convincing and cajoling kids to "act better", "get along", or demonstrate that they are sorry. Unfortunately, these strategies do not teach skills or don't fit individual differences. Sometimes we can get away with using these strategies when supporting "average" kids. However, this is not the case for children with Executive Functioning challenges like Learning Disabilities and ADHD.
Learn why common strategies used to change a child's behaviour often do not work, and why they work even less with children who have executive functioning challenges. Learn the difference between what is necessary to support behaviour change, and what is sufficient. Learn how the same principles for successful academic teaching can be applied to social skills, emotion regulation, and problem-solving skills. This presentation builds on a basic understanding of Executive Functioning and Learning Disabilities.
The workshop will take place on Tuesday, November 21 starting at 6:30 pm. To register for the workshop,
