Volume 2, Issue 2
A Message from our Principal
October is a month when
we settle in and get down
the job of new learning.
Staff have been collecting
data from many areas to
help inform their planning
and they meet often to look
at this data to determine
the next steps in their
teaching as they continue
our focus on improving
student achievement and
well-being. We are very
pleased with the way our
year has begun and the
intentional work staff and
students are doing to get to
know each other and work
together. Our professional
learning continues to be
about ensuring authentic
mathematics instruction
within a Comprehensive
Math Program.
I’m happy to see students
use their agendas daily!
This newsletter, student
agendas, the Meadowbrook
website, our Twitter
account and school
functions are all excellent
vehicles for communication
as long as they are used and
maintained by all of us.
We’re already into other
activities that make
Meadowbrook a wonderful
place to be! Our cross
country runners are
practicing often and are
reaping the rewards of their
hard work! Our Terry Fox
run was such a
heartwarming event as our
older student leaders
cheered on the younger
students as they ran to
celebrate Terry. Our
Intermediate Volleyball
team has begun their
practices and the music
room is alive with Honour
Band and Glee Club. As
well, we are continuing our
partnership with Big
Brothers and Big Sisters and
their “Go Girls” and “Game
On” programs have begun
at lunchtimes. Thank you
to all Wildcats who
participate so
enthusiastically in school
activities; to the staff who
organize them and to
families who offer so much
support.
Please never hesitate to call
if you have any questions or
concerns; the door is
always open!
Enjoy your October!
