Nicole's Notes: Volume 27 (April 7, 2014)

Happy Monday TOSH Parents and Guardians!

Twins...by accident! :)

We are looking forward to a full week of teaching and learning ahead! I'll have more to report next week, for sure! Thank you to all who managed to come in for Parent Teacher interviews last Thursday evening. We value the partnership we have with you and are always willing to share information about your child's progress with you. If you have specific questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher(s) by e mail or phone.

REPORT CARD DATE CHANGE!!

Considering the fact that we missed some class time recently and in order to provide a more accurate assessment of student progress, we have decided to move up the dates for teachers to finalize marks by a week. This means that report cards will not be send home with students until THURSDAY, APRIL 15.

Speakers from the financial community will be coming in to share their expertise for 30 minutes each day at noon in the Lecture Theatre beginning on April 9.
