Our Weekly Sept. 13

Sept 13, 2024

Dear Poirier Families,

We are settling in and enjoying our time together. Learning is happening everywhere!

Next week we are hosting our meet the staff evening on Wednesday 6:00pm to 6:40pm. We invite everyone to come for a tour of the school and then meet on the black top for a short introduction of our staff at 6:30.

• Our Poirier app can be downloaded using this QR code or the information in the attachment. We send our weekly email using this app as well so if that is easier for you to view it please use the app. 
•  Our lost and found is filling up. Please label your child’s items as they are more likely to be found with a name on them.
• Our Grade 3, 4, and 5 classes had a visit from the Harmony Project. This is a wonderful after school program for learning strings and drumline instruments. Please see the attached information for signing up.
