Parent Math Resources
As students get older and start to move into the upper grades math becomes more challenging for students and parents who are helping them.  Below is a grade YouTube resource for parents looking for a refresher.

Skating
During the week of Monday, Feb 10 to Wednesday, Feb 12 the students in grade 6 will be skating at the ring, weather permitting.  We are looking for volunteers to help put on skates and helmets during those three days.  A more detailed schedule will be coming out soon.

Parent Council Meeting
The next Parent Council meeting is next week on Thursday, February 6th at 7 pm in our DLC. We are holding the meeting a week early to accommodate the Teachers' Convention break. It’s our Grade 2 teaching teams' turn to present what your kids have been working on in their classrooms. There will also be the usual updates from our Admin team and other committees.
Babysitting will be available.

Used Skates

If you are a family who would like to receive or who would like to donate skates, please contact info@sandstomemacewan.com. As well, if you are interested, there is a family willing to do some sharpening and some intro lessons! What a great opportunity!
