Happy February, Everyone!
We’ve reached the halfway point of our school year! The months ahead are when students often make their greatest academic and social-emotional growth. We’re also beginning to plan for next year. As you know, WHS will be adding Grade Nine, and we recently learned that Prairie Springs students will continue attending our school. Families can find the latest Balancing Airdrie Student Spaces updates on the RVS website.
This month, we are engaging in Black History Month. Students will explore Black history through classroom projects and morning announcements, culminating in a Grades 4-8 assembly later in the month. A big thank you to our school committee for organizing these events!
We’re also excited to welcome new Kindergarten students as registration opens on February 3rd. More information can be found here.
Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in students arriving late. Frequent tardiness can be disruptive for both the student and the class, especially at the start of a lesson. Our goal is to have all students, Grades 1-8, in their seats, ready to learn, by 8:05. To help with this, please use adjacent streets for quick drop-offs and avoid jaywalking by using crosswalks.
A quick reminder for our youngest learners: please keep toys at home. They can be distracting in class and may lead to conflicts during recess. Parents, we appreciate your cooperation in supporting this.
With colder days ahead, please ensure your child dresses warmly. Indoor recesses will be held if temperatures drop to -20°C, including windchill.
February promises to be a great month at Windsong!
