 Climate Survey

We are almost two years old already and we want to find out how we are doing.  We would like to ask as many parents as possible to take 20 minutes or so and fill in a survey on school climate.  This will help us get a better picture of how you, our parents feel about the school and what's happening here.  All students will be completing a survey as well, but they will be doing this at school.  Please take some time within the next few week and go to

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/UGDSBPARENTS 

 Once you click on the link, the survey will open and you will be able to go through the questions.  Thanks for taking the time to do this.

We said goodbye to Mr. Guyitt on Friday.  He has been at Westminster Woods as temporary vice-principal.  During his time here, he has done a wonderful job of getting to know the students and staff and quickly become a member of the Westminster Woods Community.  Mr. Guyitt has gone back to Aberfoyle School for now, but who knows where he may end up?

We welcome Mrs. Soule as our new vice-principal.  She has been on medical leave for the past five months, but is healthy and ready to return to work.  We already know that she will make a wonderful addition to Westminster Woods School!

 

The Read-a-Thon is Happening!

What a week it has been! On Monday, we had a kick-off assembly with a guest speaker (Olympic silver medalist in the 1996 Olympics).  Valerie Hould-Marchand inspired the students with her presentation.  We have also had guest readers this week ( parents, the Guelph Storm and visitors from RBC).  The book mobile is here today. 

Next week promises to be just as exciting. Monday is a holiday, but on Tuesday we have a school-wide pajama day and read.  The entire school will be reading from 9:00-9:25.  On Tuesday, there will be a junior book swap (please send in a couple of books that are in good condition and your child can take one in return ).  Our early bird draw is Wednesday ( Box seats at a Storm Game).  On Thursday, parents are invited into the school again for a read and lunch with their children ( 1:10-1:30).  Please join us for this if you can.  We will end the week with an intermediate poetry cafe.

Once again- if every child raises just $20.00 we can raise $10 000 all of which will come directly to the school! 

Happy reading-and enjoy Family Day.
