Family Update – January 26-30, 2026
Happy Tuesday, Stinger Families!
It was wonderful to come together as a school last week to celebrate students! The smiles, applause, and encouragement of each other was beautiful to see!
I hope everyone made the most of the "Snow Day" yesterday. I was personally very thankful to have time to shovel and catch up on some work and household tasks.
Inclement Weather Days
We as a staff want to be fully transparent about what happens on “snow days” when school buses are cancelled. Educators provide literacy (including Core French) and math instruction every day. Students who are not meeting benchmark or who are behind in math fluency or content areas, but are at school, do receive Lexia (if applicable) and targeted/explicit instruction – even on “snow days”. Classes are not always combined, depending on how many students can make it to school safely.
We are proud of our commitment to student achievement.
If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to connect with your student’s teacher. They would be happy to chat about your specific circumstances on bus cancellation days and plan with you.
We have indeed had an unprecedented number of bus cancellation days so far this school year. Please know that we have no control over these cancellations. We are committed to student safety and learning every day. We do have a school-wide plan to increase the support for students who need to stay home on these days due to safety and accessibility.
