Be on Time, all the Time
School starts at 7:55 for kindergarten and 8:00 for grade one to five students. Our doors are open at 7:50. Some days, the amount of late students would fill two classrooms. Please plan and prepare the night before your child’s school day so that your child comes on time. Students walking in late disrupt the class and interrupt the teacher. Be respectful and come on time!
From the Music Room
Has your child ever come home and said, "We get a free class in Music tomorrow. We can wear pajamas and bring our favourite stuffy. We can choose to play games or watch a movie!" Indeed, they are correct.
This idea was brought to me by the students themselves when I joined the Escuela Canyon Meadows family. How does it work? After each class, one student is selected as the "Mystery Musician.” The "Mystery Musician" is someone who has shown exemplary musicianship, listening and participatory skills in the class. After every student shows these qualities to be a Mystery Musician, their free class has been earned! It does take us a little while, but they are very excited once their entire class has completed the task!
Thank you for supporting our celebration. Sra. Cotton
Las Americas Book Fair
Mark your calendars. The fun and excitement of a Las Americas Spanish Book Fair is coming to our school so save the date!
Our Las Americas Spanish Book Fair will take place on March 21-22, 2024. Students will have the opportunity to browse the books prior to the fair. All purchases are order only and will arrive two weeks after the book fair. You can shop during parent teacher interviews only. Purchases by credit/debit only. Happy Reading!
