Welcome to Principal’s Corner and to our Weekly Update.

Imagine a school morning where everyone knows what to do and is ready on time. Organization is a skill learned over time. By teaching organization at home, your student will learn this important skill. Modeling these skills will encourage your student to take responsibility for their own organization. Use habit 1 as a learning tool for you and your student:

HABIT 1: BE PROACTIVE
Habit 1 is about initiative and responsibility. Here are some ideas that you may find helpful. Each night, help your student determine what they will need for the next day. To start, writing a list may be helpful. Pack the backpack the night before with homework and place it a central location such as the front foyer. Place other items such as toque and mittens on top of the backpack so they are ready to go. Pack lunch items the night before and place in the fridge for a quick access the next morning. Feel free to email me some of your tips for being proactive at home. I would love to share with our EDMS families. – Susanne Stroud, Principal

Leader in Me

On February 25, 2022, we celebrated some amazing leaders! Thank you to our Grade 9 helpers for handing out the certificates and taking the photographs. Click HERE for access to more photos.

Thanks to all our students for their donations to the Beaumont Karma Pantry. Some of our Grade 9 students helped load the donations. Stay tuned for our next community project for March.

Wellness – Responsibility

You can use this video to start a discussion with your child about responsibilities at home. Maybe create a list together of each family member’s responsibilities.
