Photo retakes and Dance Residency

 

With Halloween coming up, students are invited to wear costumes to school on Monday, October 31. The costumes must be worn the whole day and must be appropriate for school environment meaning no violent or i
nappropriate content or messaging. Accessories such as swords, guns, knives, weapons etc. should not be brought to school. As costumes should not impede learning, we ask that no mask even if it’s a half face mask be worn to school. Those wanting to wear COVID masks are welcome to. Due to dietary restrictions and preferences, no food should be brought to school for sharing purposes. While well intended, other non-food treats should also be not brought to school (goodie/loot bags). 

School photos retakes were originally scheduled to happen on October 17 & 18 have been rescheduled to November 2 & 3. If you would like your child to have photo retakes, please email your child's teacher to let them know. Class Photos will also happen on the November 2 for all classes with the exception of the Tuesday/Thursday Kindergarten group whose class photo will be taken on November 3. 

Dalhousie students will have the opportunity to participate in a 6-day dance residency at school. Sound Kreations will be coming to dance with the students on November 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, and 22. Our students will be participating in a program called CubaNYC where a Spanish speaking instructor will focus on teaching the students hip hop and Latin street dance moves. The cost of this residency will be $7.26 per student which can be paid through your MYCBE account. This fee is in the process of being posted and you should see it in the next couple of weeks. We are excited to get our groove on, ask your child to see the moves they learned at school.

During the pandemic, many pieces shifted online, including Parent Teacher Conferences. Some families indicated that they preferred them online as it allowed flexibility in timing and attendance. We have formal opportunities for connections with families throughout the year. Thank you for providing feedback for the format and method delivery of our conferences. Please note that due to logistical parameters that are not in our control, we may not be able to implement all feedback. Thank you for providing your input. The survey will close October 28, 2022 at 4pm.

Raz-Kids user name and password cards are going home. Please keep this information handy so students are able to access their account from home.

Students are taking home a pink index card with their user name to access their cbe accounts. Please help your child writing their password on the card and send it back to school. We will keep the cards in a safe place where students can have access to this information when using chrome books in class. If parents do not remember the password, please write "forgot password" and Sra. Canji will help students reset it at school.
