This is always a big deal in the primary grades. Move over 99, it's now the 100th day of school since we started in September.

Be sure to check out the SMART Board activities courtesy of Gosfield North's 2F class.

It's Kindergarten Registration time.

Throughout the district, next September's group of new students and their parents are invited to visit their local community school to see the excellent Early Years' program available. Doors are open to parents on February 10 and the registration period itself is February 9-20.

The resources at this site give our community a look at the first class education offered at Greater Essex County Public Schools.

Grade 4 students are currently directed to some appropriate resources for their investigations of Regions of Canada.


Notebook Resources

The implementation of SMART Boards has resulted in all kinds of excitement and heightened student engagement in our schools. As we learn all about the effectiveness and what are the best practices for the technology, folks are not hiding their efforts.

Log into FirstClass, go to Public Conferences, and then Computers in the Classroom to a folder entitled SMART Notebook sharing. You'll have instant access to documents that have proved to be tried and true to the Ontario Curriculum by GECDSB educators.

Resources can be added daily so check those red flags often.
