What’s Happening at Eardley?
I hope your week is going well. I would like to remind everyone that I am away this week. Kelly McGuire is replacing me in the building. Should you have any questions, please contact kmcguire@wqsb.qc.ca.
Home and School
There are a lot of things happening at school through our Home and School. Thank you so much for everything you do for our school community. Last week, the winners of the door decorating contest enjoyed a hotdog lunch and some slime making. This was organized and provided by our Home and School and supported by our amazing staff. Home and School also just finished another successful Holiday Market this past weekend. Below are the upcoming Home and School initiatives.
Family Bingo Night is on November 21. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
Subway Day will be on November 27. Please see the attached flyer for more details.
Lunchable Day will be on November 29. Please see the attached flyer for more details.
Parent Guardian Survey
Attached to this message is an invitation to complete a parent/guardian survey regarding communication and the quality of teacher-parent/guardian relationships. If you would like to complete the survey, you will also be provided with a little thank you gift card of a $10 to Archambeault. This study is funded by Fonds de recherche du Quebec.
Western Quebec Literacy Council (WQLC)-Family Activity Night
The WQLC is back for another family workshop. On November 28 at 5:00pm, please join us at Eardley to make greeting cards. All you need to bring is you. This is a free event, and the children get to choose from a selection of books to bring home to add to their home library. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
World Children’s Day
The children have spoken! This Thursday, November 21, Eardley will be celebrating World Children’s Day. When asked how the children wanted to be celebrated, classes took a vote and the results are in. Children are invited to wear their PJ’s to school and watch a movie as a class community. They will also enjoy some popcorn, provided by Home and School.
Parent/Guardian-Teacher Interviews
Please join us on the evening of November 21 and during the day on November 22 for interviews. Your child’s teacher has already sent home information on how to sign up for interviews. If you child’s teacher is part of the teachers using the booking system, please feel free to use the link below. Some teachers have decided to organize their interviews without using the booking system.
Angel Tree
Once again, we will be supporting Eardley families with an Angel Tree. How it works: there is a tree in the foyer with angels that represent children at our school. You choose an angel, buy a gift for the child described on the angel, wrap the gift, attach the angel to the gift, and return the gift to school by the deadline indicated on the angel. It is very important that we have the angel in order to get the gift to the right child.
Food Drive
In addition to the angel tree, we will be having a food drove to create food baskets for our Angel families. The attached flyer outlines the category of items to be brought in each day. This will take place the first week of December.
Governing Board
Our next GB meeting is on November 27.
PD Days
November 22 is a PD Day. Daycare services are available for those who registered.
January 6 is a PD Day. There are no daycare services available on that day. Staff will be taking part in professional development.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
