Message from the Mr. Johal and
Mrs. Singh
We all have a part to play in your child’s education.
Research continues to reinforce that a positive
relationship between the home and the school
improves student performance. As parents, you
play a crucial role in laying the foundation of your
child’s learning long before they come to school. If
your child sees that going to school, being on time,
treating others with respect, and completing
homework is important to you, it will become
important to him or her.
Talk to your child about what he or she is learning.
This tells your child that you value what they do at
school. This also gives you an opportunity to ask
questions and understand what he/she is learning.
Read to your child, read with them and read near
them. Help your child to see real-life connections
to math. Reinforce the positive qualities that we
are teaching your child, through the Virtues
Program, in life outside of school.
