Falcon's Weekly Update - November 15, 2024

Good afternoon Falcon Families,

Progress reports will be going home with all students on Monday. Please take a moment to review them. All parents have been invited to attend a student conference. They will run for the week, depending on your teacher's schedule. If you have any questions about the progress of your child this is a great time to have that discussion with your child’s teacher. Friday, November 29th is a PD day, please see our agenda.

We are excited to announce that we will be having a Scholastic Book Fair. Tuesday, November 26th will be a browsing day, with purchasing days Wednesday (27th), Thursday (28th) day and after school until 7:00 pm as we are hosting Student Conferences.  Parents are welcome to come and shop on Thursday after school and Friday morning on our PD day from 8:30 until 11:30. If you have a current police check and vulnerable screening and can volunteer for a portion of time in our book fair please contact our Library Technician Anna at lutskya@hdsb.ca

Bullying Prevention and Intervention Week November 17 - 23 

Next week our students will be engaged in our Bullying and Awareness protocol lessons in the classrooms.  Here is the protocol all staff will be using.            

There have been some questions as to why we have portables being added to our school. We are a growing school and community! Attached is a map for your information with our schools' boundary and redirection, with a plan looking forward to 2033. This information and map show where our new students will be coming from as new developments close. 

Our morning and after school pick up and drop off traffic has increased. Please be mindful of our large buses as they need to be able to turn into our parking lot safely. No students should be walking through the parking lot and in between buses, please follow the sidewalks. If you drive to school in the morning please take a look at the map below. We organize our mornings to keep all our students and parents safe.
