NEWS & NOTES FROM PRINCIPAL FENECH
A RECAP OF WEEK ONE
What a wonderful first week of school! The energy and excitement your children brought into the building made our hallways and classrooms come alive with curiosity, laughter, and love. Our theme this year - Engage • Energize • Elevate - has already been shining through. Students have been busy building classroom communities, routines, and diving into learning. We’ve seen them engaging with one another through collaborative activities, bringing energy to morning meetings, and elevating their thinking as they take on new challenges.
Teachers are guiding students in setting hopes & dreams and establishing supportive environments that make learning possible. From joyful greetings at the door to thoughtful reflection at the end of the day, this first week has been a strong start to a year of growth and connection. Thank you for partnering with us to make this an uplifting beginning.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES RE: CAR LINE
Parents/drivers must remain in their car.
Be sure your child has an open seat on the right side of your car.
Under NO circumstances should anyone reverse in the car line.
Watch for pedestrians crossing from the church parking lot. (Pedestrians: make sure you are also watch the cars.)
The pick-up line is not a place for connection and conversation with your child’s teacher. Please park if you want to talk to a staff member.
If your child uses a 5-point harness car seat, please practice independence OR park your car to allow for adequate time to buckle.
Lastly, the car line has always been designated for kids in grades Y5/K- Grade 2. Students in Grades 3-5 should meet their caregivers at another location. Exception: Students in grades 3-5 can use the car line when accompanying a younger sibling at dismissal.
Questions? Please ask. We know our location makes arrival & dismissal complicated.
