BLUE WILLOW SPIRIT CLUB THANKS YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!

Blue Willow Spirit Club held its annual Food Drive just before March Break. 
It was a very successful event because of everyone’s strong effort and great generosity. At the end of two short weeks, the Vaughan Food bank picked up six very large bins of non-perishable food items which will serve to support those in need in our very own community. Thank you to our Spirit Club for their leadership, and to our staff, students and their families for their great support.

Connecting as a Community

Our first Family Yoga Night at Blue Willow was a great success... thanks to your participation and involvement!

Blue Willow Family Yoga Night

Together with School Council, Blue Willow organized the first of five health and wellness workshops for our extended community under the HIGH FIVE WELLNESS SERIES.  Our first event, FAMILY YOGA NIGHT was well attended and a lot of fun for participants of all ages.  The session began with fun and interactive Laughter Yoga, followed by family oriented de-stressing Traditional Yoga. 

Here are some captured quotes from our participants: 

"It was amazing. Thank you for organizing!"  

"What a fun evening for the family!"

"I never knew how much fun Laughter Yoga was!"

We look forward to enjoying the next session with you in February! Stay tuned for more information!

Progress Report Card

Mission: To advance student achievement and well-being through public education, which motivates learners, fosters inclusion, inspires innovation and builds community.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

On Friday, December 11, 2015, your child will be receiving his/her Elementary Progress Report Card. The purpose of this report card is to communicate the progress your child has been making since the beginning of the school year. The progress report also indicates how well your child is demonstrating the various learning skills and work habits, and identifies areas where you may be able to support your child in achieving success this year. 

This report is not an evaluation or a record of achievement levels. It reflects preliminary observations of your child’s learning to date. It is our hope that this report will serve as a central part of rich discussions between home and school.

This report card informs you of the progress your child is making in each subject. 

Progress is described as follows:

 Progressing with Difficulty: The student is currently demonstrating some learning in relation to the curriculum expectations and may not achieve the learning goals of the term. The student is being supported in achieving the learning goals.

 Progressing Well: The student is currently demonstrating sufficient learning in relation to the curriculum expectations and is likely to achieve the learning goals of the term.

 Progressing Very Well: The student is currently demonstrating significant learning in relation to the curriculum expectations and is expected to achieve the learning goals of the term.

While your child’s level of progress in each subject has been completed by the respective teacher, comments may not appear for every subject. Please direct any questions you may have about your child’s report to the specific subject teacher.
