Be respectful— Be Responsible— Be Safe Dear Parents/ Guardians:

We hope everyone had a restful Spring Break!

Welcome back to school for our final three months

of the school year. This is the part of the school

year where many of our students show us how

quickly they can accelerate in their learning by

being on time for school and attending school on a

regular basis.

Regular attendance at school is vital for your son

or daughter to achieve their fullest potential and

experience success in the classroom. We have been

working toward improving attendance as a goal for

Faraday School for the past four years. Based on

our data, we have been making steady

improvements to attendance.

I encourage each parent/guardian to attend the

Triad Conferences being held April 24th from 5:00-

8:00 PM or April 25th all day. Student Led

Conferences provides your child the opportunity to

showcase and get feedback from you about his/her

work. Our goal is to reach 100% participation. If

you are unable to make an appointment on either of

these days, please arrange an alternative time with

the classroom teacher.

With spring upon us we are planning to plant our

school garden boxes with vegetables and herbs

again this year. If there are any parents

interested in watering and caring for the

gardens over the summer months, please contact

the school to make arrangements.

Faraday is a Positive Behavioural Interventions

and Supports (PBIS) school and we all follow the

three B’s: Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be

Respectful. During the month of April we will be

doing some common area training with all

students and the staff will be trying to catch

them doing the right things and following the B’s.

Students will be getting “Gotcha” slips and

possibly winning prizes!!

A new initiative at Faraday is our Conflict

Managers. Many of the grade 5 and 6 students

have volunteered to be trained in preventing and

solving conflicts on our playground at recess. The

Conflict Managers are gaining valuable leadership

skills while the rest of the school can count of a

safer playground.

Mr. R. Routledge

LUNCH PROGRAM

Lunch fees are due the first of the month. Deadline is the 10th of the month.

Fees after this date are considered a delinquent account, telling us that you no longer need your space. Lunch

fees provide the supervision you need! If you no longer need your space, please let the Lunch Program

coordinator know. We still have many families who are working or attending school during the day and require

a lunch space. Thank you.

NO FEES-NO SPOT

Thank you to all those families who make the Lunch Program fees a part of their monthly budget and remind

their children of lunch program expectations. “Quiet talking voices during lunch program create a happier atmosphere.” Lunch Program is a privilege. Thank you to all the Lunch Supervisors for all your hard work.

Remember the Three B’s of Lunch Program: Be Respectful - Be Responsible - Be Safe

Lunch Program Coordinator

I LOVE TO READ

In the month of February Faraday School gave “I Love to Read” month an Olympic theme. We asked students to

record how many minutes they spent reading. The three students in each class that read the most each received a

book prize, an Olympic water bottle, and a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal at our wrap-up assembly on March 4th.

The Winners:

Thank-you to everyone that participated in our Olympic Reading Contest!

Your children and their legacy to

the Seventh Generation As part of Education for Sustainable Development,

students learn about traditional Aboriginal perspec-tives regarding their relationship with the Earth.

Students learn that they cannot separate themselves from the rest of the earth. How they interact with the earth, utilize the plants, animals and minerals should be carried out in a responsible manner to ensure

survival for the seventh generation.

To learn more about ESD, please talk to

your child’s teacher

We believe in developing responsible decision makers and global citizens, who contribute to the social/cultural, environmental and economic well-being to ensure a sustainable future for all. “Enough for All, Forever”.
