Caroline School News

Vice-Principal's Message
A cornerstone of our success at Caroline School is marked by high student
achievement, as you will see on your child’s report card. We are pleased to recognize
our students who are eager to be successful, and ask that when your child’s report
card does come home, you take time to review and reflect upon the substantial
learning and growth that has taken place. It is truly amazing! Elementary Report Cards
and Junior and Senior High Progress Reports will come home on March 13th.
Parent-teacher interviews for Elementary will be held on March 17th and 19th. Please
note your scheduled time, which will be recorded on your child’s report card. Junior
and senior high teachers will be available for interviews after school on March 19th as
well. The opportunity to discuss your child’s progress is value-laden, and we are
looking for a record turn-out!
ECS Registration for September takes place on March 12 between 4:30 – 6:30 at the
school. If you know of a child who will turn five before December 30, you are
encouraged to attend this important meeting. Mrs. Reum, our ECS expert, will be
presenting information to parents about her program and will be on hand to answer any
questions. It is well documented that students who experience ECS are academically
and socially advantaged when compared to their age-level peers.
Students in grade 4, 5 and 6 are working hard to compete in our school Speak-Off, to
be held on March 13th. The Speak-Off will take place from 12:30 – 2:00, and you are
encouraged to come out and be part of our audience! Developing ability in public
speaking is an important life-long skill. Students who are successful at the school level
will compete in our Division-Wide Public Speaking Competition in Breton on March
19th. Good luck, presenters!
The many learning opportunities provided to our elementary students at Caroline
School build the foundation for long term and continuing student achievement
throughout the school experience and beyond. Positive student attitudes, higher
attendance rates, lower drop-out rates, and a sense of belonging are observable
measures that are demonstrated by our junior high and senior high school students.
We are pleased by this. Caroline School continues to be an environment that develops
learning and leadership where school success and student achievement are attainable
goals.
Caroline School staff appreciates your support as we strive to meet these
commitments for our ECS youngsters right through to our young adults in Caroline’s
grade 12 classrooms.
Sincerely,
Pam Wright
Senior Vice-Principal
