November 9 | Monday Message

Hello University School Families,

We have a short week ahead, with students attending school on Monday and Tuesday before our Fall Break. Although it's only two days, we have an important opportunity to come together as a school community to recognize Remembrance Day.

Remembrance Day Assembly – Tuesday,November 10

Our Remembrance Day assembly will take place on Tuesday, November 10, beginning at 10:40 a.m. The assembly will be approximately 30 minutes in length, and parents and family members are welcome to join us.

This is an opportunity for our students and staff to come together to honour those who have served and sacrificed.

Fall Break – November 11–13

A reminder that there is no school for students on Wednesday, November 11 (Remembrance Day), or Thursday and Friday, November 12 and 13, as part of Fall Break.

We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, November 16.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Our upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences (November 26 and November 27) provide an opportunity for families and teachers to connect, celebrate student learning, discuss progress, and identify next steps.

Conference bookings will be available through the CBE's online conference booking system.

  • Bookings open: Friday, November 20
    Bookings close: Wednesday, November 25

We encourage families to book a conference time during this window. Additional information about accessing the booking system will be shared closer to the opening date.

See our Parent-Teacher Conference information for booking instructions.

School Grounds and Student Safety

A friendly reminder that during the school day (8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), our playground and outdoor spaces are used by students for recess, physical education, and other learning activities.

For the safety and security of all students, we ask that parents, family members, and other visitors refrain from entering areas of the playground and school grounds being used by students or interacting with students while they are outside under staff supervision.

We also remind families that all visitors must enter the school through the main entrance and check in at the office. Please do not attempt to enter through the back doors of the school or proceed directly to classrooms. These expectations help us maintain a safe and secure learning environment and ensure that we know who is in our building at all times.

If you need to speak with your child, connect with a teacher, or visit the school during the day, please come to the main office so we can assist you.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our students safe.

Wishing all of our families a restful Fall Break.

Here's to another week of learning together!

Jennifer McTighe and Lori Bonanno
