Year End Family Picnic
We are so excited to host our year end family picnic! It is a Bellevue tradition to have a family picnic on the last day of school. All families are invited to come and join us for lunch on our back hill at 12:00pm.
Families can bring their own picnic lunch or you can pre-order food from ‘Arcadian Junction Street Kitchen’ through Healthy Hunger. These items will be prepared and delivered to your child’s classroom at 12:05pm using our regular hot lunch distribution. Arcadian Junction Street Kitchen will also have their food truck onsite that day for on demand sales of their regular menu items at regular pricing. You will need to wait in line as it is FCFS, beginning service at 11:45am.
If pre-ordering, you are highly encouraged to order for your full family attending the picnic to ease line-ups. If you place a large order please be prepared to meet your child at their exit door to assist with carrying their items outside.
Please remember this is a fundraiser organized by School Council and the pricing reflects as such.
Orders will be accepted until Friday, June 23, 2023 at 11:59MST

CLASS PLACEMENT INFO FOR NEXT YEAR
Class List Development Guidelines
Each year as a new school term approaches, parents may become concerned about their children’s placement in a new grade and classroom. We would like to make you aware of how we organize our classes and the procedures we follow. Teachers of a particular grade divide students in their current class into different sections. Administrators then combine and organize the students into classes based on the following criteria:
Ability Distribution: The best conditions for an effective learning community are to place children in an environment where there is a range of abilities. There is strength in diversity and students are able to draw on the richness of positive group dynamics.
Gender Balance: It is important that the boy/girl ratio is as balanced as possible.
Support System: Children make new friends each year and it is important for them to have the
opportunity to interact with different peers.
Work Ethic: Some students are highly independent workers, while others may require more direction
and support. We strive to balance these attributes in order to create a supportive learning environment.
Behaviour: Within our school, we have students who exhibit a variety of behaviours. Some students
require more guidance and positive role modeling on what is acceptable and proper behaviour. Thus, it is important to distribute children who have behavioural needs among different classrooms.
Children with Exceptional Needs: We may have children in our school that require academic challenge or academic support. Distribution of these students in each classroom is taken into consideration when creating classes.
Parents’ Requests: Our professional staff knows their students, their strengths and their areas for growth. They are aware of their interactions with their peers and their need for support as they move forward. It is our professional goal to set up as ideal a classroom learning community as possible at each grade level for the new school year. We ask that you do not make teacher requests as this is not a part of our decision making process.
If there are circumstances which need to be addressed concerning your child’s placement, please bring this information to Mme El Khatib’s attention via email as soon as possible to: [email protected] .
We will be finalizing a draft of our class lists in late June. The lists will be finalized in August once we know what the school scenario for the fall will be and your child will receive an email before the last week of August. Class placement may be subject to change in September in order to meet the preceding criteria and / or extenuating circumstances.
Thank you for your support and trust in our professional ability to set up the learning community for next year. The well-being of every child is at the center of our decision making.
