Week #3

It was so great to see so many parents last Wednesday at our Program Night/Meet the Teacher evening. If you were unable to make it I've included a link to the presentation to the right under "Important Links".

The students are bringing home information about the Life Saving Society's Swim to Survive Program. This is a unique opportunity reserved for only Grade 3 students in our School Board. Please read the information and return the permission form by Fri. September 27. We're looking forward to a great time!

This week, the students are working on completing the first homework assignment together as a class so that next week when they bring their Homework Folder home they'll be familiar with the homework expectations.

Reminders:
*Please sign/initial your child's agenda daily.
*Students are asked to read nightly for at least 20 minutes (either with a parent or independently)
*Thank you for reviewing and returning the Student Information Verification form.
*All students from Kindergarten to Gr. 6 are asked to pay an activity fee of $30. This student activity fee is used to defer the costs of many upcoming Grade 3 team activities.
*Please consider donating money to the Terry Fox Foundation. You can donate cash or thorough our School Cash Online account:  http://www.terryfox.ca/StMartindePorresESOttawa 
Our School Terry Fox Run will take place on Friday, September 27. Thank you for joining us in the fight against cancer!

Looking Ahead to This Week:
