Last Week Final Words
Thank you so much for a great first year at Eardley. I have loved getting to know your children and you. It has been a year of learning and transition, and I am already looking forward to next year, with one year of Eardley experiences under my belt.
I would like to send out a special thank you to the Eardley Home and School. This group of committed parents/guardians has brought so much fun, excitement and positive energy into our school. Everything they do goes directly back into making Eardley a fun, safe learning space. Thank you so much!
I would also like to thank the Eardley Staff. Not only have they worked to create engaging lessons, reflected on teaching and adapted for individual learner needs, they also went above and beyond each day for your child’s success in academics and everyday life. I feel very fortunate to have worked with and learn from you all this year.
Please see below for information about this last week of the 23/24 school year.
Graduation
June 18 at 10:00 is the Grade 6 Graduation. Parents/Guardians are invited to arrive at 9:45. Please bring a chair as chairs will only be provided for graduates. Parking is VERY limited, please park legally on the street. Please do not park along the exit lane of the parking lot as that is an emergency exit. The graduation ends at 11:30, at which time graduates will go back to their classes to continue the graduation celebration. If you would like to take your child home with you following the ceremony, please let your child’s teacher know prior to the event. This will avoid wait times to sign your child out at the office.
Water Fun and Subway Day
June 19 is Water Fun Day and Subway Day. Students will be taking part in different water activities throughout the day. Please pack a bathing suit or change of clothes. Please also apply sunscreen to your child prior to leaving the house for the day.
Students who submitted the Subway order form will be provided a 6-inch Subway sub for lunch. Please provide your child with snacks and drinks for the day.
Bouncy Castles
June 20, we will have bouncy castles at school. Students will follow scheduled times to have some bouncy castle fun.
Family Picnic
June 21, we invite you to come have a picnic lunch in the backyard with your child and their class. Families can arrive at 11:20 and make their way to the backyard. Please do not enter the school yard prior to that time. Students will make their way out to a teacher designated area. Families are asked to bring a blanket or chairs and a packed lunch. We will have one last class meal together as a class. Home and School has also arranged for a few fun activities. If you would like to take your child home with you, please contact your child’s teacher prior to the day to avoid wait times signing your child out at the office. Please also remember to park legally along the street and to not park in the exit lane as this is an emergency exit.
Request Reminder
Parents/guardians will often request specific teachers or classmates for their child. We cannot take these types of requests. There is a tremendous amount of movement throughout the summer months right up to the day before school starts due to late registrations.
Change of Program Reminder
If you are considering a change of program for your child, please contact the school as soon as possible. Our class groupings are created based on the number of children in each program and staffing is allocated accordingly. Changes are not possible after classes begin in August.
Lost and Found
We have sent out photos of the lost and found. There is an incredible amount of unclaimed items. Labelling your child’s items is so important in ensuring they are returned to them. Please have a look at the photos or come visit the foyer area to claim lost items. All items will be donated after June 21.
Medication at School
If your child has oral medication that is kept at school, please make arrangements to pick it up. Asthma pumps and EpiPen’s will be sent home with your child on the last day of classes. Any oral medication must be picked up by an adult.
School Fees
We still have school fees that have not yet been paid. Please login to Mosaik, the parent portal, to find the amount of your fees and to clear these balances as soon as possible.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
