Greetings West Dover Families

This coming week there are couple of important dates.  On Thursday, Dec 7 we invite you to attend our Winter Concert.  Doors will open at 6pm.  Please send your child to their homeroom classroom.  Teachers will supervise children in their homeroom classrooms.  The performance is in the gym, seating is first come, first served.  There will be some standing room area at the back of the gym for late arrivals.  The concert will run from 630-730 p.m..  At 730 p.m. you are invited to pick up your children at their homeroom class.  School council will be doing a popcorn fundraiser at this event in the front hallway of the school.  Bring a few toonies to buy popcorn if you'd like to.

This coming week, students begin participating in inline skating in the gym. Every student will participate in instruction a number of times.  Please send your child with their bicycle helmet or hockey helmet if they have one.  Helmets are provided to all children who need one.

There will be no school on Friday, Dec 8.  It is a day set aside for professional learning for teachers.  Math instruction and assessment with be a big focus of our professional learning day.

If you are interested in volunteering in your child's class, please talk to your child's teacher.  Parent volunteers are always welcome in our school. 

A reminder too, when arriving late with your child, to please not walk beyond the office in the school.  For building security we ask that during the school day, that parents and visitors do not go past the office without a school staff with them.

Looking forward to another fantastic week of learning
