Haines-Student Led Conferences: Thursday and Friday

Conferences are coming up on Thursday and Friday of this week. These interviews will not follow the sit down private format that was followed last time. These conferences are student-led and there will be other families in the classroom at the same time. This is an opportunity for your child to show you his or her work. There will be a list for some guidance as to important work to check out. Miss Haines will be available to answer brief question regarding student work and upcoming events.

Abstract Art

The Grade 4 classes have completed a collaborative abstract art project. Please have a look at our bulletin board next time you are visiting the school. Our board is located across from the main gym.

Pi Day!

We are celebrating Pi day (March 14) early tomorrow in extended homeroom by hopefully eating pie!  If you are able to send one in with your child that would be great!
