Welcome Back!
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We are so pleased to be welcoming all of you and your children back to Bondar this fall. As you are all well aware, Dr. Roberta Bondar Elementary is a special place, full of intelligent, creative and resilient children. Our school staff are ready to support students and to facilitate their growth and learning this fall and throughout the school year.
At Bondar we truly value and appreciate our relationships with parents and caregivers, and we want to work with you. We are open to respectful communication and are confident that we can work together to resolve concerns that might arise. If you would like to set up a meeting with a classroom teacher, an email is usually the best way to do this; all contact information is available on our website.
We are looking forward to settling into our permanent classes this Monday, September 9th. Be on the lookout this afternoon for a communication via email for your child’s classroom placement. We know that it can sometimes take a bit of time to adjust to a new class, especially when a placement is unexpected, but please allow your child to settle in with their new teacher and friends. It helps when parents approach the placements with an open mind and encourage a positive mindset. Please bring all school supplies to school on Monday.
We do our very best when placing students to consider each child’s learning, and social-emotional strengths and needs. And we are fortunate to have an outstanding staff, who are experienced, caring and so skilled at what they do.
It is going to be another terrific year at Bondar. We are excited to see our students grow and change, and to share in their achievements and enjoyment at school. Everyone is welcome at Bondar, and we pride ourselves on being an inclusive and caring place for all members of our community, no matter what their differences.
Please check out the Bondar Website for upcoming dates throughout the school year, the first of which is our Welcome Back Assembly, this Friday, September 13th at 11:30am. All parents and caregivers are welcome to join us😊 See you there!
