We've been busy this week getting ready for the Grand Opening of Kenneth D. Taylor school. Please ask your child about the "LipDub" they took part in.

Please see the following information regarding the Grand Opening that was sent out to parents on February 2nd:

*Please note that the office will NOT be able to sign children out early on this day. Parents will be welcome to remain in the gym until the end of the day or to leave and return to pick up children from their normal dismissal time and doors.

Grand Opening Tickets

Dear Parents/Guardians: As you know our School’s Grand Opening Ceremony will be held next Friday, February 10th at 1:00 pm.  This is a great opportunity for the CBE and the provincial government to acknowledge the importance of public education.  Through a variety of ways, our students will be expressing their appreciation for all the many hardworking people required to build our school.  Additional highlights include a few words from an Elder and several government officials, both provincial and civic, who will be present to share their support.  We are especially fortunate to have Ken Taylor’s wife, Patricia, join us to share some words and share in our celebration as well.   As our limited space will not allow for a general attendance we will have tickets available on-line for both the official ceremony and at the dress rehearsal on Thursday, February 9th at 1:00 pm as well. Each person attending the evening performance needs to have a ticket. This includes all children who require a seat. Please be aware that due to limited space, strollers are not allowed in the gym.

Student-Led Conferences

I am looking forward to seeing everyone at Student-Led conferences over the next 2 days (Thursday after school and Friday until 1pm).  Please book a time through the school website if you have not already done so.

Just a reminder that this set of conferences is an opportunity for your child to show you their learning.   It is important that your child attends the conference as they will be leading you through.

There is no school for students on Friday.

Thank you,
Ms. Bakkan
