A change to PALS

​We wanted to share with families the new structure we will use this semester for our KG-G5 Primary Assembly for Learning and Sharing (PALS). As of the new year, Google Meet is now limited to 100 participants at a time, which means that we are unable to gather together as a full Primary School. 

Beginning this Friday, we will shift to an Upper Primary PALS (G4-G5) and a Lower Primary PALS (KG-G3) each month from 12:00-12:30. It will be fully virtual while we are on Distance Learning and your child will see the invitation in their Google Meets. Once students return to campus, we can resume the format where 2-3 classes attend at a time, pending the situation, and the rest will join virtually. When your child is sharing something, his/her homeroom teacher may invite you to the PALS Meet as well.

On Fridays, when there is not a PALS assembly scheduled for your child’s grade-level, his/her homeroom teacher will be doing alternative community-building activities with the children as a class. Though assemblies will be happening less frequently this semester, the new format still allows us to come together as a community.
