Meet the Teacher will take place as follows:
Our library will have a wide selection of wonderful books on display under the tree during the Meet the Teacher evenings on 31 January and 1 February. The Gr 00 and 0 classes will be sent the option to purchase books digitally. These books will be available to be purchased as a donation for the school library. Each purchased book will have a special plaque, with your child’s name and grade on it, placed inside the book (your child then also has dibs on taking the book out first!). Books can be bought on your school account – all it requires is for you to select a book and sign a slip. Please help the library to stock up with some wonderful new titles.
The first class reps meeting of the year will take place in the hall on Thursday 3 February from 08:15 – 09:15.
