Dear families,
Congratulations to our basketball teams this week. Three great games in three nights. The boys’ team will be playing Northlake Woods next week in the semi-finals. We will be cheering for them as they play in this important game.
The girls’ basketball team made it to the semi-finals yesterday and after a long, hard-fought game, they lost to a strong team from Conestogo Public School. The girls had an amazing season and we would like to thank their coaches, Ms. Ellenton, Ms. Straatman, and Mrs. Pacheco for their hard-work and guidance this year.
Sincerely,
Andrea Michelutti, Principal
Dance-a-thon
We had a great dance-a-thon today. The students were extremely respectful and had a wonderful time. Thank you to our parent volunteers for organizing and supervising this event. We will share the total amount of money raised next week. We are thankful to our families for their generous donations.

Kindergarten Registration
We are delighted to welcome your child to Kindergarten. The purpose of Kindergarten is to help build a strong foundation for learning in a safe and caring play-based environment. Kindergarten promotes the social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development of all children. The Kindergarten program is based on the understanding that children develop at their own pace. Children in Kindergarten are provided with a secure, respectful and nurturing environment, where their developmental needs can be supported through varied experiences.
We are asking that all families register their children before March 30 to ensure we have the correct number of classes for the upcoming school year. Please share the registration information with your neighbours.
The online registration is open for students born in 2014 for Junior Kindergarten. Please visit this website https://www.wrdsb.ca/kindergarten/its-time-to-register/#.WJOniNIrJeM.
