Welcome

Welcome to our new blog!


At parent teacher interviews many of you requested information on the assignments, tests and general classroom information. We're still working on a few things but we think this can be a useful tool to get started. So it's important to have a current email that you check regularly submitted to your child's teachers. As well we're hoping that a we can collaborate and have you visit one blog to get the information you need to keep up with assignments and studying.
