Hello!

Hello,

Welcome back to St. Anne's! Or, if you're new here, like me, welcome to St. Anne's!

I hope you're ready for an amazing year, full of fun and excitement!

It is my pleasure to be teaching your child this year. I look forward to working closely with you and getting to know your child.

This will be my first year at the school, but I have been teaching for 12 years - three years at St. Michael's in Fitzroy Harbour, followed by nine years at Holy Redeemer in Kanata. 

Each evening, students should read, study their math facts, and review new concepts at a quiet study area. The students should spend approximately 20 to 30 minutes working on these homework tasks each night.

Students will be asked to write assigned tasks in their agenda before the end of each day and I will also post assigned homework tasks on this site.


Although most school supplies will be given to your child, some items that would be beneficial throughout the year include:

• coloured pencils 
• glue stick
• scissors
• highlighter
• two tissue boxes
• indoor shoes (non-marking soles)

 Your child has brought home a new agenda. We will use the agenda as one method of communication as the need arises. Please ask to see your child’s agenda every night and initial it. Your signature in the agenda assures us that there is daily communication between home and school. 

Please sign up for updates from this blog and they will be e-mailed to you, each day when I post something new.

Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation. 

Your Partner in Education,

Mr. Skinner
