2010 SCHOOL SUPPLIES
We
have made shopping easier. All school supplies have been
pre-ordered and will be shipped to classrooms in July. When you
arrive in September please bring a cheque payable to F.G.Leary for
$60.00 for Grade 1 to 6 and $40.00 for Kindergarten students.
This will cover
the total cost of supplies
for the full year. The only
items you will be
responsible for will be
indoor shoes and a
change of clothing
for gym.
SEPTEMBER ENROLMENT 2010
Just
a reminder to let us know if you are leaving and will not return to
Leary in September. We have a large waiting list of all
grades. We would like to let parents know as soon as possible so
they can make daycare and transportation arrangements.
Teachers have
been working on student placements. Decisions are based on
academic ability, social compatibility, class size guidelines, gender
and special needs. The goal is to create a balanced learning
environment. Teachers need to be able to meet the needs of the
students in their class by placing them in workable groups. Decisions
are made by the current teacher in consultation with the receiving
teacher, learning assistant teacher, and Administrators.
