Hello families,

YW Family Session - Managing Challenging Behaviour: Fall Kick-off 
All parents/guardians are invited to attend the first parent session of the year. We will be meeting in the Learning Commons. This is an opportunity for parents to learn about child development and how to manage challenging behavior, meet other families and share experiences.  

Family meal from 5-6  

Session from 6-7:30 (childcare included) 

More information and RSVP on the Banting & Best School Community Facebook page event.  


Dressing for recess 

As the weather is taking a turn for fall towards winter, please send students dressed in layers. We go outside each day unless the weather is extreme such as being below 20C.   

If you need winter clothing for your child, please contact the office or your child's teacher. We have a limited supply of winter clothing.
