Welcome back to another amazing week of learning at Terrace Road School! We are so excited to welcome everyone back and hit the ground running this week!
Corn Roast Gratitude
Thank you to everyone for coming out to the corn roast this past Thursday! It was a huge success, and we were so happy to welcome and see everyone in our building. In spite of the weather, families gathered indoors, visited and shared food together. Our school council is amazing, and we are so thankful for their support in building our TRS Community.
TRS School Council
We have our first Terrace Road School Council Meeting this Wednesday running from 6:00 until 7:30 p.m. in our TRS Staff Room. We believe deeply that the more voices that are heard in our decision making, the stronger our community will be, so please consider attending our hybrid meeting either in person, or via the link provided later this week prior to the meeting.
TRS Open House
We have our Open House Scheduled for this Thursday, September 19th, from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm. This is an informal meet and greet event that will provide time for families to come into the building, see the learning environment, and meet the teacher. If you would like to arrange a 1 on 1 meeting with your child and teacher, please connect with the teacher via email and we can make arrangements (ie to go over a child's IPP, or Student Support Plan etc.).
Tree Stumps
There are a couple of classrooms in the school that are looking for some extra seating in their classrooms in the form of tree stumps. If anyone has any extra tree stumps that are in relatively good condition and are not too sappy, please le me know at the office and I will make sure that we arrange a drop-off/pick-up!
Snacks and Food
Food is vital for learning and at TRS, we ensure that students have access to healthy snacks in the morning and in the afternoon. Can you please have a conversation with your child(ren) to see if their snacks/lunches are sufficient? We are definitely supplying more than usual. If you are unable to provide more food, no worries at all- we've got you covered, but as kids grow, they often require an uptick in quantity of food from home.
Online Forms
Our yearly demographic forms are due today (demographics and annual authorization forms and Citizenship Information Updates. These forms are accessed through your MyCBE/PowerSchool Account and then clicking through your School Engage Tile. If you have not yet created a MyCBE/Powerschool Account, please go here and follow the instructions HERE.
Communication Folders
Communication Folders will be a key aspect of our vision for communication this year between home and school. These folders are zip-up, durable plastic folders that will contain student artifacts of learning for parents to look through with their children, ask questions about, and engage in learning from the home. When there is an artifact of learning, there will be a signature page attached, with room for a parent comment as well.
Art Cards
Our school is taking part in an Art Cards Project this year whereby families can order cards with their child's art on them for holiday events, birthdays etc. Please look for further information for ordering cards in October, as student art is not due from the teacher until the beginning of October.
Volunteering
At varios points in the year, there will be an opportunity for parents to volunteer for school field trips, in-house programs, and community events. If you are interested in signing up, please email our amazing Volunteer Coordinator, Amber, to join her distibution list: amberhamilton12@gmail.com Thank you for helping to support our programming at TRS!!
NEW TRS SWAG Store
If you are interested in purchasing new TRS swag for your child, or for yourself, please take a look at the TRS Store, which is linked in the PDF at the side of this page. The store will close on September 29th, and orders will be made in the following week!
Have a wonderful week, TRS Families! I hope to see many of you at School Council or the Open House this week!
Cheers,
Dan
