Weekly Question
Each week your child will take part in class discussion around the question of the week. This week’s question is “What does it mean to “be yourself,” and why is that important?” You may want to chat with your child at home as well.
Upcoming PD Days/Holidays
November 27– Daycare is available for those who are registered.
*Please note, on PD Days, daycare closes at 5:00pm unless indicated otherwise. The charge for late pick-up is $3/minute.
Angel Tree
It’s that time of year again! Our Angel Tree is back in the front foyer to help make the holiday season special for families in need here at Eardley. Thanks to a very generous donation from a local family and business, all the gifts for the children have already been fully funded and taken care of. Beginning next week, you or your child can select an ornament from the tree featuring a specific food item. Simply purchase that item, which will help create a wonderful Christmas dinner for an Eardley family, and send it to the school on December 14. As a thank-you and a reminder of your generosity, please keep and hang the ornament on your own tree at home. Thank you for your continued generosity and support!
Food Drive
To accompany the Angel Tree, we will also be hosting a food drive the week of November 30 to December 4. More information on the food drive will follow next week.
Family Activity Night
Join us Thursday, November 19 from 5:00pm-6:00pm for Family Activity Night. The focus this month is greeting cards. As always, students will be invited to take home a book for their personal home library. Please see the attached flyer.
Photo Retakes
Photo retakes have been scheduled for December 3.
Cobalt Communication Tool
We have tested the Cobalt Communication Tool. If you have not received a message from the address indicated below, please check your junk mail. After this communication, we will shift to this tool when sending future information. These newsletters will be accessible through a link in the new tool. The sender will be notifications@wqsb.qc.ca.
Code of Conduct and Anti-Violence/Anti-Bullying (AV/AB) Plan
You can find both documents posted on our website.
Changing Weather
As the weather changes and students dress in layers that tend to come off during the day, the school lost-and-found fill up fast. Help your child stay organized by practicing the “sleeve tuck” at home, tucking toques and mittens right into jacket sleeves when walking through the door so everything stays together. Also, please take a quick moment to label all clothing and outerwear with your child’s name. It makes returning stray sweatshirts and accessories much easier.
Report Card and Interviews
Report cards will be available on the Mosaik Parent Portal on November 13. Family/Teacher interviews will take place on the evening of November 26. Your child’s teacher will contact you soon to arrange a time to meet.
Basketball Camp
Please see the attached flyer for a Boys Basketball clinic offered to grade 5 and 6 Eardley students at Symmes/D’Arcy. Please note, this is not an Eardley organized event and all questions should be directed to the contact information on the flyer.
School Fees
Thank you to everyone who has already paid their school fees. If you have not yet done so, your invoice is available through the Mosaik Parent Portal. Payment reminders will be sent out shortly, and taking a moment to pay now will help save time and reduce the need for follow-up notices. If you require a payment plan, please contact Kim Teske at kimteske@wqsb.qc.ca. Please note that outstanding accounts without an approved payment arrangement will be referred to collections.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Julia Horner
