Parent Survey
We would like parents to be aware that from February 26 to 29, we
will
disseminate online the Parent Satisfaction Survey. A detailed
instruction sheet on how to access the information will be provided on
Monday, February 25.
Social Thinking Workshop
The first Social Thinking Workshop was a victim (along with so
many
things) of the most recent snow day. We will try again on March 13. It
is unlikely that we will be able to reschedule the February date but we
can look at that together as we go through the remaining three
sessions. Looking forward to seeing you all in March!

Haven Helpers
If you were in the K-1 pod recently, you may have
seen
the overflowing recycling bins...a HUGE thank you to all the parents,
teachers and children (and also to Robin Henry), who made the January
Haven Helpers food drive a smashing success. This month, the 2nd
graders are well on their way with their own collection. Thank you to
so many of you for your continual willingness to help with donations
and transportation!
