All About Me

My name is Nicole Samuel and I am one of the Grade 4 teachers for this upcoming school year. I have been a teacher at SJA since January 2018 and this will be my third-year teaching Grade 4.

I am a graduate of Central Michigan University Elementary Education Program and an Alum of the CMU Women’s Soccer Team.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy being physically active (soccer is my favourite sport, go Manchester United!), watching movies, working on "do it yourself" crafts, and spending time with my family. I can hardly wait to get to know all of you!

Happy Friday! - Day 31

Good Afternoon Families! Happy Tuesday!

Please read all the information below to get the latest scoop on our day! 

Reminders
- Polar Expressions is back again this year and they are looking for students to have the chance to publish poems and short stories in an upcoming book. Information sheets have been sent. Students who are interested in this competition can do so on their own time, as class time will not be given. The deadline for poems is November 29th and the deadline for short stories is December 6th.

After care invoices have been sent out. All after care payments were due today, yesterday

- Casual Day forms have been sent home. If you would like your child to participate, please complete the form and send in the $20 cash to me no later than October 25th.

- Winter uniforms started today, Tuesday, October 15th. All students in Grade 4-6 will need to have all pieces of the winter uniform with them everyday. The winter uniform consists of SJA gray pants/skirt, navy blue socks and black dress shoes (which they already have), a white button up long sleeve crested SJA shirt, a navy blue SJA crested sweater/sweater vest, an academic and house colour tie (to be worn every Friday) and an SJA crested blazer. Please be sure to label all pieces! Blazers must be worn during transitions and around the school, but can be taken off while in class and during lunch. If you do not have any of these pieces please contact Alpa as soon as possible at alpa@multiformcanada.com.

Please note that the uniform store will be closed from October 15th to October 24th. If you need to purchase any uniforms please make sure all orders are placed by October 10th 2019 by email: alpa@multiformcanada.com or online www.multiformcanada.com.

Unit of Inquiry:
Students will be given one more day to prepare their summative projects as I will be away on Monday coaching the Gr. 4-6 Tournament Soccer Team. Please ensure that your child brings all necessary materials with them to school on Monday so that they can add the final touches to their project.
