Good afternoon Parents and Guardians,
Fitset ninja was a tremendous hit! Great weather and something very different than anything we’ve had at the school in a long time. I hope your child shared how they were indeed, ‘ninjas’ for a day. Thank you of course, to our school council and to all those that donated to our Nestegg campaign for making events like this a possibility.
The celebration of learning by all accounts was a great success. Thank you to everyone who came out to see our students perform! It was a wonderful display of community spirit! Let’s do this again in three weeks at our year-end family picnic!

Class Configurations for Next Year
As we prepare class lists for the 2024-25 school year, many considerations are made to ensure equity in the classroom. This includes balancing academic needs, social-emotional learning needs, and overall inclusivity and diversity. We have been receiving requests from parents regarding who their child's best learning friends are, and which teacher they would like their child to have. We want you to know that we do our best to factor these considerations into our planning when we meet as learning teams, but there are no guarantees as we also need to consider the whole dynamic of the class. We will also have shifts in our grade team configurations where teachers will be assigned to new grades. These placements are still being determined. Our internal process is a rigorous one, and we ask that you trust the process that your child will be placed in a class where they will be most successful.
