Parent/Teacher Interviews & Progress Report Update

MESSAGE TO PARENTS

As a result of contract ratification by the ETFO and the Board’s association OPSBA, Progress Reports will be completed by all teachers (Grades 1-8) and distributed to parents on Friday, 2015 December 11.

Friday, 2015 November 20 remains a day where there will be no classes for students.  Interviews relating to this Progress Report will be initiated at the teacher’s discretion, if the teacher identifies a concern about your child’s progress.  Teachers are committed to ongoing communication with parents/guardians regarding student progress.  As always, parents can contact their child’s teacher to discuss their child’s progress and there may be a telephone conversation or there may be an interview, at the teacher’s discretion.

If you have any questions please feel free to call us. 

Sincerely,

The Administration Team of Stoney Creek

Comic Con at Stoney Creek!

Hello Stoney Creek Community!

We have had a very successful Comic Con week with Monday and Tuesday being our Conference Days and students viewing some amazing Superhero creations.  We had Rogers TV come out to video the students work and interview many of them about their Superhero's. Look forward to the link to view this. We are so proud of our Student Council representatives for taking the lead on this project and supported and guided many of our classes during the conference.  Our students were incredibly engaged and mesmerized by the Superhero creations.  The 3D models were detailed, collaborative and out of this world! The students also created trading cards describing the Superhero attributes and a video trailer on the Ipads demonstrating the special powers of their hero.  We were very proud of the entire schools’ involvement as all 42 classrooms participated in this special Comic con conference.

Friday is our Superhero dress up day and all students are encouraged to wear their favourite Superhero costume.  No need to go out and purchase a costume, everyday items can be used to create a superhero image using towels or fabric as capes. 

Friday is also our Marvel Movie Day for our students.  FDK’s will be viewing ‘Kung Fu Panda’, Grades 1-5 will be viewing ‘The Lego’ movie and our Grades 6-8 will be watching ‘Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer’.

There will be snacks for the students to purchase prior to watching their movie. Please allow your child to bring in a toonie to purchase a snack to munch on during the movie.

Thank you once again for your continuous support.

Chocolate Bar Fundraiser Update

Chocolate Bar Fundraiser

Well done Stoney Creek!!  For the past two weeks, we've had over 600 cases of chocolate bars out in the Stoney Creek community.  It is almost time for our  Stoney Creek Chocolate Bar Fundraiser to come to an end, however, due to an overwhelming response to our chocolate fundraiser this year, we are extending the fundraiser by a couple of days.   Instead of the fundraiser ending, Friday, October 16th, we will now carry it over the weekend and all money and chocolate must be returned no later than Monday, October 19th if you would like it to count towards a prize and your classroom totals.

All money received after Monday, October 19th, will not count towards your classroom totals, nor your chance at winning one of our top prizes.  So, please get your money and any unsold bars in latest Monday, October 19th.
