EBS April 2022 Newsletter
Grade 6 Exams
Grade 6 students will be starting their End Of Cycle exams shortly (French in April, English inMay, and Math in June). These exams are held over a number of days therefore it is essential that students are in school regularly and on time so that they receive all the necessary instructions as well as adequate time for completion.
Indoor / Outdoor Shoes
While the weather is finally improving and warmer days are ahead, the school yard remainsquite muddy. Students therefor MUST have either indoor & outdoor shoes or boots & indoorshoes. Snow pants can be replaced with splash pants.
Discord
It has come to my attention that there are students who have Discord accounts. Please be advised that the legal age for a Discord account is 13 years old. In addition, students have access to inappropriate material on this app. If your child has a Discord account, we ask that you remain vigilant and monitor their account regularly.
Progress Report #2
The second progress report will be available, on Mozaik, on Thursday, April 21st.
School and Lunch fees
Letters have been distributed regarding outstanding school and lunch fees. If you feel you received a letter in error, please contact the Main Office in order to resolve the situation. If you have not paid your fees or have made a partial payment, please do so as soon as possible. Anyone wishing to make a payment arrangement is asked to contact Ms. Chilelli.
Grade 5 students have been working hard this month.
They were introduced to the EMSB’s Storytelling Festival and have been preparing and presenting their stories in front of their classmates. Students have learned how to give each other feedback and how to enhance their presentations to make their stories captivating. The finalists will soon be chosen and are looking forward to sharing their stories with the rest of the student body on Wednesday, April 6th. The students enjoyed participating in the various activities for I LOVE TO READ WEEK andLA SEMAINE DU FRANÇAIS, as well as having the opportunity to go skating at the arena! A highlight this month was definitely our field trip to Parc Bois de Liesse, where students took part in the “trapper in the forest” program led by La Guèpe. It was a fun outdoor adventure, in which we explored nature and animals. In Math, students are learning about decimals and have been reminded that their basic math facts help them master so many new concepts along their math journey! We are looking forward to the final months in grade 5!
