A busy week of Valentines, the Olympics, Flag day, Chinese New Year and the 100th day of school. A few of the teachers were looking like they were 100 years old by the end of it. Thank you to all the staff and students who dressed up to celebrate.

• Please label all of your child’s school supplies, except for the duo tangs as we have a special labeling process in place.
• Note: These quantities are averages: some children require more materials than others. Your child will write a note in their agenda throughout the year if they need more materials.
Please do not supply your child with permanent markers, except as noted – thank you.
Intermediate students will not need to bring their supplies for the first few days.

Primary School Supplies K-3 2017-18
Primary students in kindergarten to grade three are able to get their supplies through the school. Parents are strongly encouraged to purchase supplies through the school as this ensures the supplies match those needed for the over all class plan. This optional participation allows parents to take advantage of the convenience of having others get the correct materials at school pricing. Students are given materials, as they need them through out the year.

Fees will be collected after students are assigned to classes
but not before September 11, 2017.
