Here it is, March already!  Let’s hope that Spring is right around the corner and the warm weather is here to stay.

It is hard to believe that we are already beginning the planning processes for next year already and we need your help.  If you are not planning on returning to Le Roi Daniels for next school year (2024/25) for any reason, please let the school know by April 18 so we can plan accordingly for our school as well as the new school you will be attending. Thank you for your help!

We would also like to make you aware of the start date for school next year…..it is BEFORE the September long weekend again.  We will be having our annual Ice Cream Social on Wednesday August 29th  and the time TBD.  This is an opportunity for you and your children to come to the school, meet your teacher, find your classroom and see some of your friends before school starts.  School starts for all students on Thursday August 29th at 8am.  Please be sure to plan your summer holidays accordingly to ensure students are at school for August 29, 2024.  Please note that due to changes in registration processes, students must be present at school before September 3, 2024 to ensure they maintain their spot at Le Roi Daniels School.   Students who have not attended class by September 3, may have their spot filled by another student on the waitlist.  PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND BE SURE HOLIDAYS END PRIOR TO September 2, 2024.

As we look forward to spring coming and the weather continues to be beautiful and warm, I would like to remind you to take extra caution when driving and walking around the school.  Students are excited to be playing and running in the sun and may not always be aware of their surroundings, especially before and after school.  As drivers, it is important that we demonstrate extra safety precautions in the area, including driving the loop around the school instead of doing U-Turns.  We are asking you to please not do U-turns on any of the streets adjacent to the school for safety reasons, please follow the loop around the building to keep traffic flowing and everyone aware of what you are doing.  Safety of your children is our priority!

Finally, we will be having Student-led Conferences on March 21 between 4 -8pm.  There are no report cards going home at this time, however, this is a chance for your child to showcase their learning while taking you on a tour of the school.   Parents will have the opportunity schedule their conference between March 11-20 through the School Engage Accounts. These conferences will take 45-60minutes so please be sure to book your times to share in your child’s learning. These conferences are IN-PERSON and there will be no virtual conferences at this time. All parents will have the opportunity to connect with the teacher for a few minutes, however this is not a private conversation.  In the event that a teacher needs to speak with you privately, they will connect with you to book a 1:1 appointment on Friday March 22.  If you have a specific concern and need to talk privately with a teacher, please email them so they can connect with you. 

As always, we as an administrative team, strive to be responsive to the needs and concerns of all students and parents and encourage you to contact the school if you have any questions or concerns. 

Sincerely,

Andrea Taylor

Principal
