Primary School Events

 

In August, we have two weeks to settle into the new semester and to get back into the routines of being in school. We do not schedule many events during this time to allow the students and their new teachers time to get to know one another. 
Each Friday in the primary school, we have an assembly in our Blue Dragon Theatre.  On August 23rd, the first assembly will be led by the principal, Ms. Marly Song. A schedule will be made for the year for a different grade level or specialist class to lead an assembly to demonstrate their learning.

Meet the Teacher Night

In the primary school, parents will have the opportunity to meet their child’s homeroom teacher and TA, learn about the classroom expectations and routines, and find out more about the curriculum for the year. This is a good time to ensure parents are able to log-in to our communication platform “Seesaw” and to ask any questions about the class.
