As we approach the end of the 2015 calendar year, we take time to reflect upon Trillium Woods’ community successes
and its dedication to improving student achievement. The staff have been busy
implementing the various curriculum expectations in classrooms, meeting as
divisions and grade teams to discuss and plan program activities which will
bring out the best in each student and allow them to be successful with their
learning.
Communication between home and
school is an essential element of student success. We appreciate your ongoing involvement in
your child’s education, the time spent communicating through the agendas, and
the conversations you have had with staff.
We look forward to continuing our partnership in the upcoming year.
We would also like to thank
parents for their ongoing support at home. Helping with homework assignments
and discussing your child's school day provides the opportunity for support and
positive reinforcement. Furthermore, it provides parents an opportunity to
exercise strategies used at school to reinforce key concepts.
The holidays are a terrific
opportunity for our students to enjoy the greatness of our Canadian
winter. Encourage your children to play
outside, skate, toboggan or simply play in the snow. And while indoors, take the time to play
board or card games with your children.
Games that involve strategic thinking enhance critical thinking skills
and provide invaluable family time where you can share in the gifts that each
of your children bring to our community every day. As a school community, we
are indeed blessed with committed and caring individuals.
As the holiday season is upon us and 2015
quickly draws to a close, we wish to extend best wishes for the holidays and
for a happy 2016. We are confident that the two week break will prove to be a
restful and pleasurable time for families to spend together. Thanks to all of you for all that you do to
make Trillium Woods a great place to be. Whether you come to School Council
meetings, participate as a parent volunteer, or come to school open houses and
special events — your involvement and presence matters and we value the time,
treasures and talents you bring. We look forward to greeting your children upon
their return from the holiday on Monday, January 4th, 2016.
