 Dear parents, Welcome back! We are all happy to see the lighter and brighter weather this morning as we welcomed our students into school. It is good to be back! As we move into March and what is sure to be more rain and weather, I encourage you again to be sure to label your children’s things to assist us all in finding them when lost. (Our lost and found is located opposite the stairs and near the tower.) Please note March 24 is a no-school day so we can host elementary conferences. Specific information about sign-ups and procedures for that day will be released next week. However, please note that our expectation is for teachers to hold their conferences on that day. Your attendance is important. Thank you for planning to be here. Warmly, Jen Munnerlyn esoffice@aswarsaw.org Important Upcoming Dates to Note: (more detailed information below)
Parent Tech Connection When: Wednesday, March 1 from 8:45 to 9:45 Where: Teaching and Learning Center - A002 (near the main entrance) In the Elementary School at ASW, one way students use technology is to create multimedia projects to demonstrate their understanding of new concepts and ideas. In this session, we will explore iPad apps that our students use across the grade levels. Join Simon May and Kris Sheehan (with help from our elementary students) for some “app smashing”, as we create media with three or four of our apps and then put them together into one movie. This will be an active, hands-on hour where you will get to see how quick and easy it is to create your own media with the iPad. Kiss and Go Drop Off Zone: Parking Lot Reminder!

 Elementary E-Notes. February 13, 2017 Principal’s Note: Dear Parents, Please take a minute to look around our hallways this week. The elementary school has taken the challenge! We are in the thick of the 100-Ways to Show the Learner Profile challenge. From the Office, to the Pre-K wing, to the Grade 4 hallway you will note the work of our teachers and students to identify when, where and how we embody these ideals. It is work worth working on. This week is full of events. So much so, it is important to have our students in attendance. If you are planning to leave early, please let your child’s teacher know. Enjoy the Winter Holiday. School resumes Feb. 27. Here’s hoping it will be a little warmer and a little brighter. Warmly, Jen Munnerlyn esoffice@aswarsaw.org Important Upcoming Dates to Note: (more detailed information below)

Students and teachers are busy in classrooms, on the playground, and in our Additional Language and Single Subject classes. In fact, it is important to note the hard work in our ES Pool these past several weeks. Mr. Szuter, Mr, Kienhuis, Mr. Eleryk and Mr. Tom Cook (PE TA) together with our ASW lifeguards are helping to ensure our children are safe. Learning how to swim and being safe in and around the water are important lifelong skills. As Grades 1, 3, and 5 completed their swimming unit for the year, we are excited to welcome PK, K, Grades 2 and 4 to the pool! Have a wonderful week.
