Highlands Elementary School - Gr. 4!
Hello All,
This is an official welcome to students and parents.
It's been a different world recently, and now it’s
time to start school again! YEAH! School will look and feel a bit different this year, but I know we can make it as positive as possible working together to help each other through the good and challenging times ahead.
We will commence the year with positive
energy, new and familiar faces, new goals, and new expectations.
Class Expectations...
~ SAFETY FIRST! This is our top priority. We will be practicing safety protocols every day.
Academics...
~ Try your very best every day, regardless of the subject.
~ Be prepared each day with the appropriate learning materials
~ Work is legible, neat, complete, and handed-in on time
~ Work toward a positive "growth-mindset."
Parents! Please watch this video on "Mindsets!"
~ Participate in all areas of the curriculum to the best of your ability!
~ Work hard, put in effort, & have fun.
~ Be proud of who you are... don't compare yourself to others.
~ Believe in yourself, in your own abilities, and in what you can accomplish.
~ Enjoy learning! See you Thursday!

What does gym strip mean?
ReplyDeleteShorts, a t-shirt, and gym shoes in a bag.
DeleteDo the students only need to bring in the photos Monday or have them written in the back as well?
ReplyDelete~ Memory Sticks - we only worked on card #1 so far... this week we will work at card #2, 3, and 4. Some students may need to have a conversation at home about their "story" on the the cards. Also, students have until TUESDAY Sept 22 to complete all cards and have all PHOTOS brought to school by then as well.
