Welcome back to a new week. We hope you had a great weekend and are ready to tackle the new week. We are hoping the weather will cooling down in the coming weeks and we can start outdoor breaks. Once the outdoor break schedule is ready we will share with you.
Back to basics- classroom environment and morning routines
How we greet our students in the morning we often forget we set the tone for their day.
How are you greeting your students in the morning? What is your classroom environment like in the morning, do you have games out? Are students given a chance to talk to each other and to you?
A successful teacher-student relationship is built on mutual respect, trust, and open communication. When we foster an environment of encouragement and support, students feel valued and motivated to engage in their learning.
How to know if your students can't be on social media.
Before sharing any photos for students on Google Site, Google Classroom or with Yasmeen on Social Media ..., ensure that you have the necessary parental consent.
Please refer to this
guide to check how.
Please download a sheet for every class you are teaching and highlight the names of students whose pictures should not be shared so you are always aware of those.
Note that false means photos are not allowed to be posted, displayed in classrooms/hallways, Google classroom for that student.
For any questions, please let Hiba know.
Thursday treats coming through the gate
A reminder, we promote healthy eating at school. Please refrain on allowing any unhealthy food coming to school UNLESS it is the students birthday and you have sent a permission slip home with the student. Any food that comes through the gate without a permission slip from the teachers they will be sent home.
We are no nut school, please ensure nothing with nuts is being brought in, the food needs to be sent to secretaries.
Please see division secretaries if you need celebration slips for your classroom.

Message from PE

The year 3 to 6 indoor athletics team try-outs are taking place Monday 9th (Years 3 and 4) and Tuesday 10th (Years 5 and 6) in the main gym from 2:00 PM to 2:45 PM.
A letter has been sent to the parents today along with a google form to register their kids if they show interest. I will share the responses with you by Sunday 8th.
Parents will be allowed to come and wait in the gym. I have also mentioned in the letter that parents will need to pick up their children from gate 2 at 2:45 PM.
PE staff will be assisting students on the list from their building to the main gym.
