6) REMINDER: PARENT EVENING- MAY 21
We will be having our annual Parent Evening on May 21 at 6:30pm. This year we will be We’re excited to screen the award-winning documentary “Screenagers: Elementary School Edition” this year. Two years ago, we screened the original documentary, and since then, they’ve released a specific version tailored for elementary schools. Please make every effort to attend and watch this important documentary that delves into the challenges families face in today’s digital age. We invested a significant amount of money in obtaining the licensing for this screening because we believe it’s crucial for parents to be informed about their children’s digital habits. We’re witnessing an alarming rise in anxiety, depression, and other issues stemming from excessive social media use. Although geared towards Gr. 4-7 parents all parents are welcome! Childcare will be available this evening.
