November calendar

Lots of Halloween fun with Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Fotenas, Miss Natalie, Miss Maddy and Ms. Jenn yesterday😊🎃

Pumpkin carving and pumpkin seed eating in Mrs. Mac's class yesterday 🎃

CDSBEO wishes a blessed Diwali to all students, staff, and families celebrating the Festival of Lights. May this time of joy bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to you and your loved ones.

Tomorrow is our first House Competition!

Our students have been divided into 4 houses. The Eagles, Falcons, Condors and Hawks. The last Friday of every month, students will be asked to dress in their house colours for the Good News Assembly and House Competition. Students will earn points for their house through house challenges and participation in school spirit days.

Eagles wear YELLOW, Falcons wear BLUE, Condors wear RED, Hawks wear GREEN. If you did not receive a note with your child’s house colour at the beginning of this month, please reach out to your child’s teacher through the agenda or Teams.

Mrs. Laframboise’s class took part in some Halloween STEM activities. They built bone bridges and ghost structures.

Happy Halloween to all our CDSBEO students, staff, and families! Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the celebrations. Remember to look out for one another and spread kindness throughout your day!

Tomorrow, Thursday October 31st, is Black and Orange Day! 🎃🦇

Starting this year, CDSBEO is introducing annual reading screenings for students in Year 2 of Kindergarten through Grade 2. Using Acadience Reading, this screening helps teachers understand your child’s reading progress and provide the support they need to succeed.
