Dear Primary School Families,
February is here, and we have lots of things to celebrate! We'll have a Parent University, start PS CWW trips, celebrate Valentine's Day, mark the 100th day of school, and enjoy February break. Wow! It's going to be a great month.
It was so nice to see happy students and teachers back in school. Thank you all for your ongoing support and teamwork.
Wishing you all a fantastic week!

Parent University: The Science of Reading: What Can I Do to Help My Child Become a STRONG and JOYFUL reader? By: Vincent Ventura (CNG´s External Literacy Consultant) In classrooms all around the world, we are changing the way we teach our children to read. Backed with knowledge from the Science of Reading, we are moving away from balanced literacy toward a structured literacy approach. This shift is a wonderful thing for our children, but we can’t do it alone. In order for it to be most successful, we need support from families and caregivers! Join us, as we discuss easy ways to help your child become a powerful reader!
NOTE: Parent Universities will be hybrid (Zoom and in person). This is the Zoom LINK. (Meeting ID: 936 2250 8455 and Access Code: : 411546). *Please note there is NO available parking on campus, so please plan accordingly to make the necessary arrangements in order to arrive to school. |
