Hello families,
Family Literacy Night
Thanks to the many families who were able to join us for Family Literacy Night. It was a fantastic opportunity to interact with published author, Melissa Allen. Our students asked thoughtful questions and enjoyed the book and the sign-along. The Book Fair was also a fantastic success.The joy of reading is thriving at Banting and Best School.
Learn and Share | School Planning
We know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we’ll be sharing information about school planning and asking you to share your perspectives.
During this engagement, you will have the opportunity to:
- Learn About
- School planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget and school fees
- How the school development plan sets the overall focus and direction for a school to improve student learning outcomes
- How the school budget provides funding to implement our school development plan
- School fees and why they are necessary
- Participate
- We invite you to participate virtually or in-person at our next School Council meeting on February 10th @6:00 pm to learn more about school planning. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback at this meeting.
Watch this short video to learn about the planning work schools do to improve and support student learning.
