December 17th, 2023

Dear Franklin Families,
It is hard to believe that in just one week, the 2 week break is upon us. It has truly gone quickly. Here are your reminders and updates for this coming week.

Reminders:

1. Please remember that schools will be closed over the winter holidays, Monday December 25th to Friday January 5th. Students will return to school on January 8th, 2024.

2. We have lots of LOST and FOUND items that have been placed on a table in the school. If your child has lost something, please come to the school to have a look. If you need to come in after school hours, please contact Linda (linda_cotnam@wrdsb.ca) to arrange a viewing time. Any unclaimed items will get donated by the last day before the holidays.

3. If you are interested in donating to WRDSB nutrition programs, please visit: www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/95440?v2=true

4. On Monday December 18th, there is a board meeting from 7 to 9 pm if interested in attending. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/c/WRDSBVideo/live

5. There is a Kindie Concert on Thursday and a Seasonal Concert that various classes are performing in on Thursday as well. Your child’s teacher will communicate to you if their class is involved.

1. Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) Discount Code – See School-Day for more information

Quote of the Week:

Often, it is difficult to “teach emotional regulation to kids through instruction. We foster it by being a regulated presence ourselves. Our children’s regulation is developed through our regulation.” (Youth Dynamics)
