Welcome back from spring break! I hope you had a great time with your family. Starting this week all grade 4 and 5 students at the school need to wear masks when they are in the school building. They need to wear them at all times except when eating, drinking, or doing physical activities in the gym. I know this may be a discomfort and awkward for some of the students, but all of us are expected to do our best to follow the health guidelines. I will sent report cards home with the students this week. If you have any questions about anything please feel free to phone or email me. Happy Easter!
