Hello Ranchlands School Community!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day is celebrated all over the world, including Canada. 

Family Literacy Night
Family Literacy Night will be held this Thursday, February 20 from 6-7 pm. All families are invited to join us as we focus on Literacy at Home. Teachers will be sharing strategies and activities that families can do together to build listening, speaking, reading, and writing literacies. Here are some strategies to support your ELL child at home: 
Patrol News
There will be a patrol meeting Thursday, February 20 at lunch in Rooms 23 and 24. All patrollers should bring their lunch for the meeting.

Teachers' Convention
All teachers attended the 2020 Teachers' Convention on Thursday, February 13 and Friday, February 14. I had the pleasure of hearing Arlene Dickinson, from Dragons' Den, share her life experience and journey. She shared her emotional story of coming to Canada from South Africa as a child at the age of 6. It was very inspirational!


There is no school Monday, February 17 due to Family Day.
