ES Parent Workshop – Nov. 6 at 7:30 am (ES MPR)
Nurturing mathematical talent and passion at home
In this workshop, our Challenge and Enrichment Specialist, Selena Gallagher and Elementary Learning Coach, Kim Bentley will provide practical strategies for nurturing the mathematical potential of your child in the home setting. The workshop will help parents to identify mathematical talent in their children by exploring characteristics of highly able learners and presenting what the research says in terms of the needs of these students. The workshop will build on some key ideas introduced by recent ES Math consultant, Erma Anderson at her parent session, but will also provide some new learning and thinking. All ES parents are welcome to attend.
Early Dismissal – Tuesday November 4
All ISB students will be dismissed at 1.05pm on Tuesday, November 4. On Early Dismissal Days, school buses will leave at 1:15 p.m. Early Dismissal Days allow faculty members and administrators to collaborate and further their professional development.
ES ‘Out of Uniform’ Day – November 6 and 7
These two days are ‘Out of uniform’ days in the Elementary School. On PE days, students need to wear their PE uniforms. On their non PE day, students may choose to not wear their ISB uniform.
Appropriate dress guidelines for our ‘Out of Uniform’ days are:
- Pants/slacks/shorts—good condition
- Shirts/blouses—sleeves & midriff required, appropriate logos only
- Skirts/dresses/jumpers—sleeves required, modest length
- Shoes—sneakers, street shoes or leather sandals with back strap
- Hats must be worn all the time when playing outside during recess or during PE classes
