Oki, Danit'ada, Âba wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello, Bob Edwards Community,
(Le message en français suit la version anglaise)
Tansi Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back!
I hope everyone is well and in good spirits. As you know, we are back at school and ready to continue our learning journey together. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support, patience, and understanding over the past three weeks. It has been a challenging time for all of us, but together we will navigate through it.
Our dedicated teachers have the tools and expertise to help your children catch up and progress in their learning. We are committed to meeting each child where they are on their learning journey, taking it one step at a time to ensure their success.
Next week will mark our first full week of classes, and we are eager to see our students back full-time in the classroom, engaging and learning. We will keep you updated on the progress of your child's learning and are here to support them every step of the way.
A couple of quick updates: our school has been repainted, and new artwork is presented throughout the school, and it truly looks amazing. We look forward to having you see the "new school" when we have our conferences at the end of November. Starting this upcoming week, the VST camera installation will begin at Bob Edwards, which will add another layer of security. More information is to follow on the length of the installation, but we will have guests in the building working on the installation.
Thank you once again for your continued support. Take care and stay safe.
Salut, les familles de Bob Edwards,
Bienvenue à tous !
J'espère que vous vous portez bien et que vous êtes de bonne humeur. Comme vous le savez, nous sommes de retour à l'école et prêts à poursuivre notre parcours d'apprentissage ensemble. Nous tenons à vous remercier chaleureusement pour votre soutien indéfectible, votre patience et votre compréhension au cours des trois dernières semaines. Cette période a été difficile pour chacun d'entre nous, mais ensemble, nous la surmonterons.
Nos enseignants dévoués possèdent les outils et l'expertise nécessaires pour permettre à vos enfants de rattraper leur retard et de progresser dans leurs apprentissages. Nous nous engageons à accompagner chaque enfant à son propre rythme, étape par étape, pour garantir sa réussite.
La semaine prochaine marquera notre première semaine complète de cours, et nous sommes impatients de retrouver nos élèves à temps plein en classe, pour des apprentissages stimulants. Nous vous tiendrons informés des progrès de votre enfant et nous sommes là pour le soutenir à chaque étape.
Quelques nouvelles : notre école a été repeinte et de nouvelles œuvres d'art sont exposées dans tout l'établissement. C'est vraiment magnifique ! Nous avons hâte de vous faire découvrir la « nouvelle école » lors de nos conférences fin novembre. Dès la semaine prochaine, l'installation des caméras VST débutera à l'école Bob Edwards, renforçant ainsi la sécurité. Nous vous communiquerons prochainement la durée des travaux, mais sachez que des techniciens seront présents sur place pour y travailler.
Nous vous remercions encore une fois pour votre soutien continu. Prenez soin de vous et restez prudents.
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.
