Hello Families,
This is a busy week with Parent-Teacher meetings, a PD day, and the start of our spirit days.
We expect our newest playground to open this week. The contractors are waiting on a part to arrive to open it up. We had some vandalism last week. We are working with the RCMP to deal with the issue.
Book your Parent Teacher Meeting
P-T Meetings for grade primary-six are all in person this year. You can book your parent teacher appointment at https://parentinterviews.com/josephgiles/ If you aren’t able to come in person, you can contact the teacher to get a meeting by phone.
SchoolsPlus is here to support you SchoolsPlus is a confidential, free service available in every school in Nova Scotia.

There are many reasons children come to school counselling, among these are:
● problems with friendships/peers
● concerns about bullying
● being worried or stressed out about things that are happening in class, at
school or outside of school
● managing feelings/emotions
● looking for information to help others
● being scared or feeling unsafe for any reason
● just needing to be heard by someone
