Teachers:

A final couple of things before the end of the session:

1) In regards to reports, please write a report card for all students that attended a minimum of 4 days or more. For those students that had frequent absences, we ask that a small comment be added into the report card to reflect that. For example, "Johnny has made good progress in both literacy and numeracy during the 5 days attended out of 10 days total."

Please make two copies of report cards. One goes home to parents and the other is kept for our files. Please hand in the report cards along with all of the attendance forms, student directory, snack permission forms (if applicable) for your grade to your head teacher. We will pick up all documentation from the head teacher.

2) Teachers are asked to arrange the rooms back to the way you found them except that all desks be stacked in one area of the room so that custodians can begin their summer cleaning (MB Sanford excluded). If intermediates students could help the little primaries, that would be greatly appreciated.

3) We also ask that all classes pick one area of the school field to clean up any garbage.

4) Finally, thanks so much to all teachers for your hard work. Summer Learning is not an easy gig but from what Jas and I have seen, you have all done such an amazing job. The communication amongst your hub school staff and to us has kept us well informed and has made it much easier to deal with any issues. For that, we are very thankful. For those of you carrying on for session 2, we will see you next week at your new schools. For those of you only joining us for session 1, Jas and I wish you a relaxing and restful summer!

Have a good night!
