Dear Parents and Guardians,
Hope you all enjoyed the fall break. This being a 2 day ‘week’ makes this message short.
Excited to share that all our grade 6 new Science curriculum books that were ordered at the end of June finally arrived. Such incredibly beautiful new books! We purchased hardcover books as they will last much longer than paperback books! We will have them out for parents to view during our next BPAC meeting on December 3 at 6:30pm. Please come and join us.
You will be able to book your parent-teacher conferences on November 21 at 6:00 PM with MyCBE. If you have any questions or need help, please reach out to Ms. Corey.
Ms. Dietrich and her grade 3 class are the first to go on their week-long Calgary Open Minds field trip next week! I hope the weather stays friendly. Please remember to dress your child in layers and weather appropriate. Please ensure they have a full water bottle and big lunch as they will be outside and active all day! Thank you to the many parents who are volunteering and making this fieldtrip possible.
The last 2 Smartboards arrived. We now have a working Smartboard in each classroom. Between May 2024 to November 2024, Bowcroft has received 6 new Smartboards.
Warm regards,
Meike Thomsen, Principal
