Dear Friends and Families of Colonel Walker School,
This morning our students did a fantastic job in their family groups learning about the history of Pink Shirt Day. They worked together to explore what each individual can do to make our school community safe, welcoming, caring, respectful and free from bullying. Student leaders in grades 4, 5 and 6 also did a fabulous job leading an assembly to kick off our Jump Rope for Heart campaign. A huge thank you to Mrs. Clowes for her leadership prepare staff and students for our Pink Shirt Day learning together and assembly.
Please see below for a couple of important updates:
Learn and Share | School Planning
We know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we are asking you to share your perspectives about our school development plan, school budget and school fees. Information about our SDP and Fees can be found on the school website by clinking on this link.
Here are three ways you can share your voice in relation to this important planning work:
- Watch this short video to learn about the planning work schools do to improve and support student learning.
- Complete the online survey open from today until March 31: complete the survey.
- Attend our virtual School Council meeting tomorrow evening, Thursday February 27 at 6pm. This meeting will take place at the following link: Join the meeting now
Your input is important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspectives
School Council Meeting
All are welcome to join us tomorrow night for our school council meeting at 6pm (via Microsoft Teams). The link and agenda for this meeting (as well as minutes from last meeting) will be shared tomorrow.
Dress for the Weather
As it warms up outside, please remember to dress for the weather! If you know your child loves to jump in puddles or play soccer even when it’s muddy, consider sending a change of clothes in your student’s backpack. This will prevent unnecessary calls when students come in from recess dripping wet.
