Dear Parents/Guardians,

My name is Mrs. Erin Sanders and I am your child’s Grade 2/3 Teacher.  I look forward to learning with your child this year and would like to take this moment to share some information with you.

It’s the start of an exciting new year.  We’re off to a great start and we’re looking forward to an enjoyable and productive year.  It is important that parents and teacher work together for the best of the child.  Therefore, open communication between home and school is of utmost importance. Please contact me about any concerns you or your child might have. 

My classroom blog can be accessed through the school website or through the following link: https://bridlewoodroom75.blogspot.com/

Our first week of school will be spent primarily on establishing school and classroom routines and expectations, getting to know each other in our learning community and establishing a safe and caring learning environment.

Students will have designated doors that they should use to both enter and exit the school. The students of Mrs. Baker, Ms Penonzek, and Mr. Bhachu should enter and exit from the doors closest to the playground. The students of Mrs. Sanders, Mrs. Ashacker, and Mrs. Boyton come in and out from the compound doors.

Students should only enter through the front doors if their designated doors are closed and they are late. It is helpful for students to establish a consistent meeting spot so that they may connect with siblings and parents after school.

If students are bringing phones to school they need to be kept in backpacks and turned off throughout the day.

Please ensure your child has the following items:

-        healthy snack and lunch that consider potential allergies within the school

-        water bottle with a sealed lid to prevent spills

-        a pair of outdoor shoes that they will wear only for outside and a pair of indoor shoes that will remain at school and are appropriate for gym (if shoes have laces, your child must be able to independently tie them)

-        all items brought to school should be labeled with your child’s first and last name

Thanks for helping make this year the best possible learning experience for your child.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at the school.  We’re looking forward to our time together being filled with many smiles and lots of learning! I look forward to the school year.   If you need to contact me, email is best.  You may also call the school at 403-777-6259.   My email address is: essanders@cbe.ab.ca

Sincerely,

Mrs. Erin Sanders
