Primary Division Updates
Dear Primary Division Families,
As Spring Break approaches, we hope your family is looking forward to a wonderful and relaxing time. It's a great opportunity for students to recharge, explore new interests, and spend quality time with family and friends. Whether you're planning a trip or enjoying a staycation, we encourage everyone to make the most of this break.
While it's important for students to enjoy their time off, maintaining some routines and structures can be beneficial. Keeping a consistent sleep schedule helps ensure they are well-rested and ready for the return to school. Incorporating educational activities, such as reading, visiting a museum, or engaging in a creative project, can keep their minds active and engaged.
Thank you for your continued support in fostering a balanced and enriching environment for our students. We look forward to welcoming everyone back, refreshed and ready for the final stretch of the school year.
Wishing you a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!
Warmly,
The Primary Division Leadership Team

This session will concentrate on the same theme, targeting parents of children aged 7 - 9. A sign - up link will be published in the weekly bulletin one week prior.
