On September 10th, the students of Boundary Bay Montessori House got together to celebrate International Peace Day.

It was wonderful to greet and welcome all the Year Four families into the Intermediate classroom. The start of a new adventure! We discussed the beautiful new agenda that will be the “tool” that works to organize and keep track of the daily classroom routine and due dates. These agendas will be going home each week on Wednesday to be signed and returned the next day.

This Fall the EDK/Primary students will have P.E. at the school while the Intermediate students will participate in a gymnastics program.

We are starting this school year by welcoming back Darcy Smith, our OSC Supervisor, with the hope of hiring a second OSC Supervisor. Having two supervisors creates 19 spaces in OSC, and allows us to support our families with occassional and short-notice out-of-school care.

We hope you will take advantage of this wonderful benefit as needed - please make every effort to phone the school by 12:00 pm if you require short-notice/casual care for your child. For families who use OSC occassionally, we will send you an invoice at the end of each month based on the number of days used.

As you prepare for your child(ren)'s return to school next week, I wanted to take the opportunity to remind you of our updated Nutrition and Allergy/Anaphylaxis policies, which were distributed at the June Parent Orientation/Teacher Appreciation evening.

This year, we have children in our school community with severe anaphylactic nut allergies, so it is important for all of us to raise our awareness when planning and preparing school lunches and snacks.
