  1. Random Acts of Kindness Day – November 4th

Since 2008, Random Act of Kindness Day® has brought Kitchener-Waterloo and other Canadian communities together by engaging citizens in small acts of kindness and generosity.  The message is simple; do something nice for someone and ask nothing in return other than they do something nice for someone else. Part of the beauty of the initiative is that it doesn’t have to cost a cent. Holding a door open, words of thanks and encouragement, telling someone they’ve done a good job – these are the kinds of acts that citizens ‘pay forward’ on this special day.

  1. Remembrance Day – November 11th

Our students will participate in a Remembrance Day assembly on November 11th.  Parents are invited to attend the assembly from 11:15 – 12:00.

  1. P.A. Day – November 18th

Staff will be working on school improvement planning in the morning.  The afternoon will be a time for Parent-Teacher interviews regarding the progress reports.  Stay tuned for more information on scheduling your interview time.

  1. IEPs
