Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As we enjoy this Thanksgiving weekend, I find myself reflecting on how thankful I am for our wonderful Bondar community. Each day, we come together to learn, grow, connect, and spend our days alongside one another. Our community is welcoming and open, and we continue to build connections as we learn more about one another’s backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. These differences enrich our school and help make Bondar the special place that it is.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We are so happy to welcome all of you and your children back to Bondar this fall. As you already know, Dr. Roberta Bondar Elementary is a special place, filled with intelligent, creative, and resilient children. Our staff are excited to support students in their learning, growth, and well-being this fall and throughout the school year.

Dear Bondar Families,

Dear Bondar Families,

As we begin Term 3, we are incredibly proud of the continued growth we are seeing in all of our students. Their increasing confidence, independence, and strong understanding of school routines have allowed them to truly hit the ground running in this final term of the year. This strong foundation means that students are well positioned to maximize their progress and learning as we move through these important final months together.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It’s hard to believe how quickly this school year continues to move—somehow we’ve already reached the halfway point of the second term! As we reflect on the past few months, we are so proud of the progress our students are making socially and academically. Their confidence, curiosity, and sense of belonging continue to grow, and we feel fortunate to support them on this journey each day.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As we transition from the excitement of Halloween and other fall festivities into the quieter rhythm of November, we’re met with shorter days and cooler, wetter weather. Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our students. Staying connected with your child’s learning—whether it’s through checking planners, reviewing Seesaw updates, or reading together each day—makes a meaningful difference in their growth and confidence.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
As we move deeper into the school year, it’s encouraging to see our routines taking shape and a sense of comfort settling in across both school and home life. Familiar faces bring reassurance, and it has been wonderful to witness new friendships forming and connections growing within our Bondar community. Our hope is that every student is beginning to feel at home here—finding their rhythm and experiencing that vital sense of belonging that defines our school.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We hope you had a rejuvenating summer filled with memorable moments and quality time together. As we prepare to welcome students back to Bondar, we want to reassure you that our staff is committed to making the transition back to school as smooth and supportive as possible. Whether your child is returning or joining us for the first time, we are here to help them feel safe, confident, and excited about the year ahead.
