Welcome!

 I am so excited to have your children in my class this year.  Div. 11 has had a good week, learning our classroom routines and getting to know each other. We are all looking forward to a great year.     Hopefully you have received 2 letters (on blue and purple paper) and a white 'Getting Acquainted' form, if not please let me know either by email or in the planner.  Please help your child remember to bring their planners to school daily.  You might find it easier if you encourage them to return it to their backpack after reading each night.  

Important information and reminders...

Div. 11 does have a nut allergy so we will have a nut free classroom. 

Monday, Sept. 19 there will be no school as it was declared a day to mourn Queen Elizabeth II.

Friday, Sept. 23 is Fairview's Terry Fox Run in the afternoon. students are encouraged to wear tie dye for Terry. If you don't have tie dye apparel, something bright and fun will work.  If possible please send in a twoonie for cancer research.  Online donations - https://schools.terryfox.ca/FairviewElementaryMapleRidge 

Please pay a total of $55 (school supplies $48 and $7 for our school planner). This can either be paid on the parent portal or by sending in cash in a labelled envelope or ziplock.  Thanks to those of you that have already paid.  Also please send in inside shoes as soon as possible. 

Please return the white 'Getting Acquainted' form.

Thank you for writing your child's initials on all crayons and felts and return these to school on Tuesday.  I really appreciate your assistance with this task.  

We are playing Name Boggle each morning with our Special Helper's name.  They will bring home the paper and if you and your family can try to make more new words and then send it back. Div. 11 is already getting good at this literacy activity and obviously every name creates different words. 

Fridays 8:30-8:45 will be Family Reading for anyone that can join us (including younger siblings) . If you have other children at Fairview that are also do Family Reading on Fridays please let me know and I will speak to their teacher and see if we can make some arrangements.
