Reminders/Updates & Music Blog

Notes from the Music Room

As you can see we have chosen a different way to communicate with you so that more of you have access to this information.

 

First order of business is to inform you that we will have Calgary Opera come to our school and do their School Tour performance of Cinderella.  This opera has been modified using aspects of the opera Cendrillon by Massenet and Rossini’s Cenerentola.  Basically, what that means is that it will be a very lovely performance based on the beloved fairy tale with beautiful music.

The company will come to our school on February 27th at 2:00 pm.  This is a student only show.

 

Kindergarten kids are learning a song/game about a mouse:

El ratoncito hace “squeak, squeak, squeak.”

Yo no lo veo “peak, peak, peak.”

Ahi esta. El viene aca.

Un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco y ya!

Dalhousie School Updates

This is the time of year when we begin planning next school year’s organization, especially in terms of our enrollment and student population projections. Please indicate whether or not you anticipate that your child/ren will attend Dalhousie School again next year. We realize that plans may change over time and would ask you to kindly let the office know in these cases, so that we may staff with accurate numbers. If you have more than one child at Dalhousie, please fill out one form for each child currently Kindergarten to Grade 4. Families do not need to do anything to continue their child’s registration at Dalhousie as it for automatically rolls over for the next year for existing Dalhousie Kindergarten to Grade 4 students, assuming that they are not out of area, unless we hear from the family that their child will be attending elsewhere. 

Similarly, if you have a child in Grade 5, please indicate whether your child will be continuing on to Senator Patrick Burns or attending another school next year. Again, we realize that plans may change over time and would ask you to kindly let the office know in these cases, so that we have accurate numbers. Please complete this form by January 27, 2023. Grade 5 Dalhousie students will be designated to Senator Patrick Burns, unless we hear otherwise from families.  If your child is continuing on to SPB, you do not need to do anything. 

In all cases, if you have any questions about registration at any level, please call the office, who will be happy to help you.

A reminder that we are a nut and allergy aware school, so no nuts or products containing nuts should be brought to school.  Additionally, due to dietary/medical restrictions and preferences, students are not permitted to share or trade food at any time.  In the same vein, we ask that no food or toys be sent to school for birthdays or other celebrations.  There may be occasion for a class celebration in relation to learning, during which the teacher may ask for healthy and food specific donations.
