Aldergrove PS

Message from our Administrators 校长及副校长的話

Welcome back! 歡迎大家回來!

We hope that you have had a safe and restful holiday! 希望大家都過了平安及休閒的假期!

Our board’s Parent/Guardian School Climate Survey 2013-14 was completed by our families at the beginning of June 2014. We will be sharing the results of this survey with our School Council on Thursday January 29th from 6:30 to 7:30. This survey gives us some very important information about how you feel about the school’s expectations about safety, your engagement,how inviting you feel the school is, opportunities, student well-being, and provides data about what you expect from us in the future. Overall it seems to be consistent with the Report Card information our families filled out for us in June except this survey goes deeper and gives us some things to think about.

於去年六月進行的 2013-14 年度教育局的家長對學校環境意見調查剛公佈,

內容会在一月二十九日下午六時三十分至七時三十分的家長委員会中跟家長交流. 這調查給予我們重要材料:

包括您們怎看學校對安全的要求,有関家長如何參與學校, 您們感到如何受重视, 學校的未來机遇, 學生的整体成長,

及有您們對學校將來的期望. 整体上, 此調查跟同期本校進行的”行政人員成續表” 結果相近,

但此調查提供一些較深入及具体的資料讓大家反思.

December was another busy month for us @Aldergroveps. On Thursday December 4th the Aldergrove Choir performed on the Grand staircase of the Ontario Legislature. MPP for Markham-Unionville Michael Chan took the time to come and see our school perform having visited our school last school year. The choir was led by 歌詠团各主導老師 Katherine Sametz, accompanied by Ms. Roumbanis, and Ms. Jackson performed as a part of the choir. Our Gingerbread Workshop was a huge success bringing in over 200 families and over 500 people. We greatly appreciate all of the assistance we received from our teachers who organized and prepared for this event. 薑餅屋活動老師 Thank you Ms. Riley, Ms. Schmid, Ms. Anderson, Mr. Berberick, Ms. Kaura, Ms. Tohn, Ms. Baig, Mr. Frankfort, Ms. Yuen, Ms. Atkins, Ms. Wright, Ms. Luu, Ms. Rasool, Ms Joshua, Ms. Carey, Ms. Hopper, Ms Chandy, Mr. Dark, Ms. Rajan, Ms. Pothacamuri, Ms. Kizilbash and Mr. Sun. Our stage production, The Polar Express featured many of our performing ensembles and performances from our student actors. Thank you 聖誕音樂晚会老師 Mr. Dark, Mr. Bergerson, Ms. De Silva, Mr. Bereznick, Ms. Rasool, Ms. Riley, Mr. Frankfort and Ms. Sametz for all of the efforts in making this production a great success! We also had town halls for our students from Gr 1-8 to get feedback from them about their thoughts and School Improvement Planning sessions where we asked students to give us feedback about our School Plan for 2014-15. A huge thank you goes to board researcher, Scott Milne, for his support and all the teacher candidates who helped.

過去的十二月十分忙碌,在四日,學校歌詠团被邀往安省高等法院大堂表演,去年曾訪本校的万錦市國会議員陳國治亦是座上嘉賓.感謝歌

詠团各主導老師.另外薑餅屋活動跟200多家庭共庆節日,多得十多位老師義務幫忙才成功進行;聖誕音樂晚会更再感謝八位老師及多位同

學合力才可成就那完美的晚上.最後,一年至八年級的全体學生分組完成他們對學校意見及對未來2014-15年期望的表達.

Intermediate Boys’ Volleyball

On Tuesday, Nov. 25th

the Intermediate Boys’

Volleyball Team attended the area

tournament at Armadale P.S. With our

confidence and spirits high, we came

ready to play but were thrown off by

the new environment: the court

seemed smaller, the net was higher,

the ball bouncier. We ended up losing

our first two games, but not by much. 高班昘排比賽, 我隊表現出色, 但場地太小,

Our turnaround came when Jordan

gave them a taste of our “solar beam”

serve, which caught the attention of

everyone on the court and meant we

shouldn’t be overlooked or

underestimated yet. Then everything

seemed to fall into place.難以發圍,

後Jordan的神奇了發球扭轉局面. 最後

True to our mascot the Phoenix, we

“rose from the ashes” and snatched

victory for our next two games.

Suddenly we were tied for a spot to

play in the semi-final match! In our

last game, we battled furiously and the

team had never been in more sync.

The rallies were long and the points

crept ever slowly for both sides. But in

the end, we were eventually defeated

by the closest of hairs. 在决賽輕微落敗,

過程中各人奮力表現, 雖敗尤榮

We want to congratulate and thank the

team on their valiant efforts and high

enthusiasm. Their lighthearted and

fun-loving natures never dampened

once, even after we had lost some

games and demonstrated true

Aldergrove spirit throughout the

whole tournament. They never gave

up and fought to the very end. As

coaches, we couldn’t have asked for

more passionate and hardworking

members and we are so very proud of

each and every one of them.

Great season boys!

!謝謝隊員,老師發揮學校团隊不折不撓達運

Kindergarten registration will commence on

January 16th, 2015 for the 2015-16

school year. Registration forms are

available on YRDSB’s website:

www.yrdsb.ca.幼兒園登記於一月

十六日開始, 上網或到本校查詢

Children who turn four or five

years old during 2015, live within

the school boundary and whose

parents are public school tax

supporters will be eligible to

register for kindergarten. A

kindergarten information session

for parents is being planned for

this spring. For more information

please visit the YRDSB website or

contact your local school.

…………………………………

On severe weather days with

extreme wind chill temperatures (-

15 C or lower), we use our

judgment along with an alert from

Environment Canada to bring all

students into the building early or

use indoor recess routines.

We often receive requests from

parents asking us to keep their

children indoors during recess

times because they are not feeling

well. Unfortunately,

we do not have the staff or

facilities to supervise students who

are sick or still recovering from an

illness. Students who are ill should

remain at home until their

condition improves. This will

benefit the students concerned and

prevent the spread of illness to

others.

如天氣太冷或嚴峻,会决定在室內小息,

但因沒有受訓的人手原因, 我們不能照顧生病的孩子須留家休息及

療理, 亦 免病菌傳播. 請理解.

Information sessions for the French Immersion (FI) program will take place at Coppard Glen PS on January 15, 2015 at 7 p.m. FI registration starts January 16 to February 13. In order to streamline the registration process, parents or guardians of Senior Kindergarten students entering Grade 1 in 2015, and wishing to enrol in the FI Program, can visit or call the school office and request an Office Index Card - short version. The Office Index Card must be signed by the principal of the home school. Parents then take this form, along with one piece of identification showing their address to Coppard Glen PS. More information is available on the Board’s website: www.yrdsb.ca.

另外,幼兒高年級學生家長,法文學校說

明会於一月十五日晚上七時於Copper

GlenPS舉行,報名於一月十六日至二月

WE Create Change

During the month of November

the me2we club organized the "WE Create Change" Campaign that was designed to collect change from our staff and students in order to buy goats for a village in India. The goats had numerous purposes, most notably for their milk and nourishment but also as an extra income for the families to allow the young children of these families to attend school rather than stay at home and work. 謝謝捐款到印度買羊給窮户孩子一點營養及

收入, 原本目標十隻, 最後共得$650.07元可買十三隻羊

Our goal as a school was to raise enough money to buy 10 goats. At the end of the campaign our school raised a grand total of $650.07 which was enough to purchase 13 goats!!! Well done Aldergrove!!!!! 謝謝學生会及MrDark老師

Mr. Dark & me2we Club

Book Fair

The Learning Commons has finally

totaled all of the money that we

raised from the Scholastic Book Fair. Our goal was $ 2,000 and we

blasted past our goal. Our total sales were an astounding

$4,068.15!!! We will use the profits

to continue to make The Learning Commons an amazing place to

learn about and use information. Thanks for your support!

書展籌得四千元多助發展圖書館,

遠超預期的二千元, 很感謝!

Intermediate Girls Volleyball

On Wednesday, November 26th the

Aldergrove Phoenix Intermediate Girls Volleyball Team traveled to Armadale PS to compete in the annual Area Tournament. The girls were in a tough pool but every player showed up and played hard.

We did not advance in the tournament but we were known as the team that had the most spirit and fun! The coaches were very proud of the girls for their commitment to learning the sport and also how well they stuck together as a team.

Did you know that a can (355 ml) of pop has nine teaspoons of sugar and a bottle (474 ml) of ‘fruit drink’ can have 18 teaspoons of sugar? Even a container (250 ml) of chocolate milk has four teaspoons of added sugar.

一瓶汽水有九茶匙糖,

一盒小朱古力奶四茶匙糖

Beverages like pop, ‘fruit drinks’, sports drinks and even 100 per cent fruit juice and chocolate or flavoured milks are replacing healthier choices, such as plain milk and water. This can result in the development of unhealthy habits in children’s diets, both at school and at home. 儘管是普通的甜飲品,百分百果汁及有

味奶都讓孩子發展不健康的飲食習慣及

行為, 最好的是水及鮮奶

To help our kids quench their thirst and to keep them hydrated all day long, send water to school in a reusable bottle. To help keep water cold put it in the refrigerator overnight and add ice cubes in the morning.
