SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER

This was such a great year of learning for everyone, particularly, in using technology safely and productively, as well as in working to our strengths at Stevenson. On behalf of all the staff at Stevenson, I wish you a restful and relaxing summer.

We will have a few staff changes at the school for 2014-2015:
Mrs. MacKay is moving to Voyageur School. Mrs. Beazley will continue at our school, and teach Grade 4/5 again. Also, Miss Long will join our staff again to teach Grade 4/5. Mrs. Buchanan will be on maternity leave. Miss Moniz will continue at our school, and teach Grade 1/2 in her classroom for the year. Mrs. Hardy will continue to be on maternity leave. Miss Kumar will join our staff and teach Grade 1 in her classroom for the year. Mrs. Wood will continue to be on maternity leave and Mr. Wesselius will stay on as our Librarian for next year.

Also for next year, we will no longer use AGENDA books. We will use Blogs, Remind!, Twitter, Instagram, and email to communicate any written messages to you.

Dates to remember:
August 20: Office opens - Call 832-1359 to make a Conference appointment with your child's teacher
September 2: Inservice Day - NO SCHOOL

Be well,

SUMMER READING

SUMMER READING GIFT FOR YOU

Dear Parents:

Stevenson-Britannia School is starting a summer reading project.  We have partnered with “First Book Canada” to purchase books for you. Research shows that students who do not read daily over the summer, can lose skills they have learned during the past year at school. It is referred to as the “summer slide”. We want to help you to “battle” against the “summer slide” this year.

Every student from Kindergarten to Grade 5 has chosen stories to take home to read with you. These are your books to keep! There is no expectation for you to return these books in the fall. Feel free to give the books to others when you are finished with them. If at the end of the summer you would like to return/exchange these, or other books you have at home, bring them to the Reading Corner in front of the office at the school. We currently have a Parent Book Exchange there. Now, we will start a Student BOGO (Bring One, Get One) Book Exchange.

Here's a brief video with some helpful tips for summer reading:

Wishing you the best for a fun and safe summer holiday. Happy Reading!

THANK YOU

The Parent Council at Stevenson Britannia would like to thank the parents & family members who volunteered at the school BBQ.  Without them it would not have been a great success.  We would also like to thank the staff and students who assisted us with setting up.  The Parent Council would also like to extend a thank you to Ryan Price (balloon artist) and Paula's Face painting for entertaining the kids. It was a great evening and nice to see everyone!
