Events
Social Media Parent/Guardian Presentation
May 30, Eardley is hosting a workshop for adults on Social Media. The presentation is online and begins at 5:00pm. We hope to provide information that allows parents/guardians to be better equipped to monitor their child’s social media use. Flyers have been sent previously for this event.
Drag Story Hour
May 31, Eardley is hosting an afterschool event. We would like to invite families to come for an evening of inclusion and fun. The doors open at 5:30pm and the show begins at 6:00pm.
Friendship Breakfast
June 3, we are having another Friendship Breakfast to celebrate the end of the school year. Please see the flyer sent earlier this week for more information. We are looking for donations to make this event a success.
Track and Field Day
June 4 will be the Jr. Track and Field Day and June 6 will be the Sr. Track and Field Day. Students will participate and compete in a variety of events throughout the day. Please make sure children have appropriate clothing and footwear for the day. Extra water and sunscreen are highly recommended.
Deborah MacNamara
June 6 join us at South Hull Elementary School from 6:00pm-8:00pm the Aylmer schools and Deborah MacNamara are hosting an in-person session entitled “Who’s in Charge? Why Adults Need to Lead”. A growing number of children are presenting as demanding, prescriptive, bossy, and
controlling. A disturbing number of these alpha children are turning into bullies as well. Alpha
children tend to have difficulties letting themselves be parented or taught. This is making the
child-adult dance much more difficult than it used to be or needs to be, despite the plethora of
advice-given and strategies available today. The surprising roots of the alpha complex will be
examined, opening the doors for lasting change in the family, classroom, and society.
Kindergarten Open House
June 7, new Kindergarten students and their adults are invited to visit Eardley and learn more about our program. Students, parent and guardians will visit classrooms, visit our adventure playground, have an opportunity to gain information about and register for daycare services, and speak with partners, Eardley Home and School, Connexions, Early Intervention supports and more.
Family Activity Night
On June 13 at 5:00pm, please join us for our final Family activity Night of the year. The topic will be Pen Pals and Western Quebec Literacy Council will have books available for your child to take home.
Family Picnic
June 21, we invite you to come have a picnic lunch in the backyard with your child and their class. This is a good way to have a classroom and school community last meal of the school year together. All you need is a packed lunch, chair/blanket and your time.
Weather
As you know, the weather is forever changing. Please ensure your child is dressed for the heat. Labelling sweatshirts will allow us to return lost items as the temperature rises throughout the day. Sunscreen applied prior to coming to school is also recommended as we try to spend more time outside.
Individual Education Plans (IEP)
We are in the process of creating and inviting parents/guardians to contribute to and sign IEP’s. Ideally, these meetings are held in person. We understand that life gets busy, so online or telephone meetings can be arranged if needed.
Parking Lot
I would like to send another reminder regarding the parking lot. Please walk your child through the parking area as many children do not typically have a lot of car safety awareness when in a parking lot. This is also a reminder that during pick up time, please do not park in the exit lane. That is a NO PARKING area.
Toys at School
This is a reminder that students should not be bringing toys to school, this includes Pokemon cards. We cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items and these items are very dear to your children.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
