Message from the Principal ~February 5-9
Good morning Paisley families,
I trust this message finds you well. As we find ourselves in the midst of February, it’s hard to believe that our students have successfully completed Term 1 of the school year.
Time truly does fly, and it’s heartening to reflect on the progress and achievements that our students have made so far. We appreciate your ongoing support and collaboration in making this term a productive and positive experience for everyone involved.
As we look forward to the remainder of the school year, we anticipate continued growth, learning, and success for each student. Thank you for being an essential part of the Paisley community, and we look forward to the journey ahead.
Welcome
I am delighted to announce that Mr. Dodds and Ms. Hind have joined our staff as a Temporary 0.5 EA and an LTO -0.2 FDK Planning Time Teacher. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Mr. Dodds and Ms. Hind as they become valuable members of our Paisley Road family.
Sock Drive
The Social Action Club will be hosting a sock drive next week to help people without homes in downtown Guelph. Warm socks help people stay warm and healthy, especially during the winter months. Please bring or send new pairs of adult large (or one size fits all) socks to donate to our sock drive next week, February 5-9th. Collection bins will be in the front foyer. The Royal City Mission on Quebec Street will be distributing the socks.
