Owen Family Update - Week of May 31st, 2021

Hello Owen Families,


We hope you enjoyed your weekend.  We know that how difficult it is to keep your child engaged as the weather gets nicer outside and we appreciated having them online with cameras on so teachers can monitor their involvement.  As we await announcements from the Premier, we will continue our remote learning.  

We will also be preparing to collect any school or central devices in the next few weeks.  If we will be returning to school before the end of the school year, please return the devices on the first day back.

Check out the relaxation techniques and suggestions for parents for synchronous learning from our school social worker.  These are in the attachments of the email.

Just a reminder that Friday June 4th 2021 is a PA Day for all students.  There will be no school.  A great break for students and parents too!

Art with Ms Elizabeth and Ms Lupita

Our students have been very excited and engaged during our art sessions with Ms Elizabeth and Ms Lupita. Owen is so lucky to have such talented staff! We only have 4 days left for our sessions. Here are the links for your child to join.

Ms Lupita: Grade 1-2 (3:10 pm - 3:40 pm)
Meeting ID: 966 9772 8792 - Passcode: 756359

Ms Elizabeth: Grade 3-5 (3:00 pm - 3:40 pm)
Meeting ID: 922 3805 7228 - Passcode: 419628

Students will just need a pencil, paper and eraser. If they have pencil crayons/crayons, that will be useful too but not necessary.

Front Garden - Hostas Missing!


Our parents and students have worked hard to beautiful Owen and maintain a fantastic garden to contribute to our environment.  Unfortunately several hostas were dug out of our garden.  If you have hostas to donate or would like to split some of your own hostas to donate, please contact Polina at polinadegteva@mail.ru .
