Students will be required to record information in their agendas on a daily basis. Please ensure that you check your child’s agenda and folder daily. I also ask that you initial the agenda to indicate that you have seen what has been recorded. The agenda is used to record homework, reminders and for teacherparent communication. The cost of the agenda is $5. Please send the money in as soon as possible. During the day the children will be given the opportunity to have 2 snacks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Nutritious snacks are strongly recommended (e.g. fruits, vegetables, dairy products etc.). Students will eat their lunch at 12:46.
