Bienvenue en première année!

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year. I am looking forward to working in cooperation with you, the parents. Your dedication, collaboration, encouragement and continued support are greatly appreciated.

As the school year begins, there are some important details that we would like to share with you to help us work together in guiding your child through his/her first year of school.

Agendas: Agendas will be sent home every evening and returned every morning. We ask that you please sign your child’s agenda each night. Feel free to use the agenda as a way of communication as they will be checked every morning. If you have a message to pass along, the agenda works best, or you can email me at address listed below.

Volunteering: we will need 4 volunteers to help walk the students to church and to sit near them. Please let me know if you can.

Blog: Please refer to the St.Gerard website to view my blog. I will communicate approximately every 10 days beginning in a few weeks.  I will notify you when a post is submitted.

Homework: Although there is no homework per se, literacy is highly valued and it is strongly encouraged that you child reads a minimum of 10 minutes every night. A reading program will be put into place whereby your child will be able to bring home books from school, however for now it is simply encouraged to continue working on sounds and beginning reading skills developed in class.

          For complete curriculum descriptions, please visit the Alberta Education website that provides a number of helpful and comprehensive documents for parents. http://education.alberta.ca/parents/resources/handbook.aspx

I look forward to meeting you!
