Oki, Danit'ada, Âba wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello, Bob Edwards Community,
(Le message en français suit la version anglaise)
Dear Bob Edwards Parents,
Tansi! We are thrilled to share that we have completed our first full week of classes. It's been a joy to welcome the students back, and though we are adjusting to what we now consider normal, their energy and enthusiasm have been truly heartwarming. We have also finalized our Individual Program Plans (IPP) and are looking forward to discussing the processes and support plans tailored specifically for your child.
As you're likely aware, our fall break is just around the corner. We will resume classes on Thursday, November 13, 2025. We are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences at the end of the month, where we will have the opportunity to connect and discuss your child's progress in more detail. More information about these conferences will be provided shortly.
In addition, we are excited to announce that our School Development Plan will be submitted for review on Friday, November 14, 2025. Once it is approved, it will be posted on our website by the end of the month. This plan will offer valuable insights into our school's performance, highlight the remarkable achievements of your children, and outline our strategies to address the learning needs of all students.
We wish you all a wonderful week ahead and look forward to continued collaboration and success to ensure that your child has the best academic experience possible.
Salut, les familles de Bob Edwards,
Tansi ! Nous sommes ravis de vous annoncer que notre première semaine complète de cours s'est déroulée avec succès. C'était un réel plaisir d'accueillir à nouveau les élèves et, même si nous nous adaptions à ce que nous considérons maintenant comme la normale, leur énergie et leur enthousiasme nous ont vraiment touchés. Nous avons également finalisé les plans d'intervention individualisés (PII) et nous avons hâte de vous présenter les modalités et les dispositifs de soutien adaptés à votre enfant.
Comme vous le savez probablement, les vacances d'automne approchent à grands pas. La reprise des cours aura lieu le jeudi 13 novembre 2025. Nous avons hâte aux rencontres parents-professeurs de fin de mois, qui nous permettront d'échanger et de discuter plus en détail des progrès de votre enfant. Plus d'informations concernant ces rencontres vous seront communiquées prochainement.
Par ailleurs, nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que notre plan de développement scolaire sera soumis à l'examen de l'établissement le vendredi 14 novembre 2025. Une fois approuvé, ce plan sera publié sur notre site Web d'ici la fin du mois. Il fournira un aperçu précieux du rendement de notre école, soulignera les réalisations remarquables de vos enfants et décrira nos stratégies pour répondre aux besoins d'apprentissage de tous les élèves.
Nous vous souhaitons une excellente semaine et sommes impatients de poursuivre notre collaboration et de contribuer à la réussite de votre enfant afin qu'il ait la meilleure expérience scolaire possible.
Contact your child’s teachers here: Our Staff. Your child’s homeroom teacher is the best first point of contact for any questions or concerns. Email is the preferred method of communication.

Weather Reminders
This time of year means the regular transition between warm and cold weather. Please help your student come to school prepared for the weather over the next several weeks.
- Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
- All students enjoy 20 minutes of fresh air at lunch (weather permitting) and some physical education classes outside, and this time is much more enjoyable if they are dressed for the weather.
- Families are encouraged to review this checklist to be prepared for using transportation every school day and throughout the school year. Transportation Family Checklist
- Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
- Students should not arrive at school before 8:55 a.m. (Soft entry starts at 9:03 a.m.)
- Students must be picked up from school by 4:00 p.m.
Parking Reminders
- Please do not park or drop off students in the bus zone in front of the school between 7 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
