Principal’s Note:

Welcome back to school!

Our return after Spring Break always signals that the end is in sight. With that knowledge, comes many end-of-year processes aimed at ensuring our students and teachers conclude this school year in a positive, memorable way. As always, our teachers will be guiding this work over the next few weeks.

One item which often comes up is the question “How is my child’s teacher for next year decided?” Please take a minute to read the information below about our Class Placement Process.

Have a wonderful week!
Warmly,
Jen

2017-18 Class Placement Process
Placing students in their classrooms for our next school year is a multi-step process designed to ensure the development of balanced classes which meet the needs of all students.

First of all, class lists will initially be compiled by the current grade level teachers without the assignment of specific classroom teacher names. Other teachers, including EAL, Learning Support, Additional Language and Single Subject teachers are also able to provide input about the proposed groupings. The work is undertaken with a close eye on developing classes balanced in terms of gender, special student learning needs, English language development, nationality, learner traits, and relationships.
From there, the ES Principal will work with our school counselors to place a teacher with each class group in early August (once all of our new students have been admitted.)

It is important to note that parent requests to place students in the classroom of a specific teacher will not be honoured. However, consideration will be given to requests from parents to not have their child placed in a specific classroom due to past personal experience. (Personal experience would mean that another sibling in the same family was previously in the teacher’s classroom and the experience was not a positive one.)

If your family is in this situation, please contact me via email ([email protected]) by Friday, May 26, 2017, noting the name of the teacher and the name of the child that was in the teacher’s classroom in the past. Please be assured that any communication will be handled in a confidential manner.

ASW “Project Nest” !  
As you’ve heard, a varied group from across the school worked with our consultant Ewan McIntosh of NoTosh to begin gathering our stories around “What is ASW all about?”  This information is collected and displayed for all to read, question, and curate in the ASW “Project Nest”. Over the next several weeks, these stories will be used to create a set of Core Values for our school.
Please come in and read what people across our community are thinking, wondering, hoping and dreaming. We need your voice too!

A Note from the ES Art Studios
Many families are interested in providing their students with experiences in art making outside of the school day.

We would like to compile a list of all local studios, classes, and artists/private instructors for families and their children.

If you know of a private instructor, artist, art studio, or local arts classes please consider sharing this information with us and the greater ASW community by completing this (linked) form .

Thank you!

The ES Art Team

Math Kangaroo Update:
There are still no student scores available for the Math Kangaroo test.

But answers are available! You can find the answers here. Hopefully, you still have the test your child brought home. Unfortunately, there are no copies of the test questions available now.
