Dear Parents, Gr 2-5 MAP scores head home next week, and we also have 2 assemblies and a new idea - a Parent Drop-in (a chance for a coffee and a chat in the Pagoda). Please note that the Friday 26th movie, Matilda, will now start at 4:00pm in the gym. We have moved it not to clash with the MS play, so you can have a Roald Dahl evening should you wish. Notes: 1. MAP Information: We have completed our MAP testing for Reading, Language Usage and Math. We'll be sending the reports early next week, and do come and see me on Friday at the Parent Drop-in (below) on Friday. Click HERE for the link to the Parent Toolkit. 2. Coffee Drop-in - Friday, Feb 26: At the Gr 3-5 Assembly on Friday, we'll have cookies and coffee at the Pagoda available for anyone who would like a chat. I'll be there in case of any MAP questions you may have, as will Ms. Pam, Ms. Patel and other specials faculty. Do come along if you'd like a hot cuppa on a chilly morning! No agenda....  3.
