Happy Ramadan to all our Windrose community. We hope this month is a blessed month for all. We are now using our Ramdan schedules for online learning. This is an important time to keep your children on a structured day and keep them engaged in their learning this month.

A huge show of appreciation for our Windrose faculty and staff who have been keeping learning alive and meaningful. Parents have been true partners in this unchartered journey. Students will reap the benefits of everyone’s effort and work in partnership.

If you have questions about this month’s schedules, please let your teacher or coordinators know.

Have a wonderful week!

As we move into another week of e-learning, we hope you and your family are finding a routine that works best for you and your circumstances. It ie helpful for children to keep some sense of normalcy and calmness in these times.

One way to help ease fears is to talk with them about what is happening in the world from a factual point of view. I found this article very helpful especially for small children.

Talking about COVID with your child

Our teachers have been working nonstop to keep your children engaged with school and learning. The whole world is experiencing events like never before so we are all in a learning mode ourselves as well. We approach each day with children at the forefront of all decisions and what is best for them at these times. Please feel free to reach out if you need support.

Have a peaceful week.

Welcome to the second week of distance learning.

There are a few reminders to make the process easier for you at home:

1) Please check your email daily and encourage KS2/3/4 to check their emails and Google Classroom as well.

2) Be in contact with your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns. We want to make sure all students are connected and engaged daily in school.

3) Don’t pressure your children too much. This is a stressful time and we are all trying out best efforts to keep lessons ongoing and provide opportunities for your children daily.

Please try to maintain some positivity each day with some music, cooking, physical activity, some games and/or some reading. We look forward to seeing the students back very soon.

Patience and flexibility are the keywords these days! We have had to make adjustments to our schedules. Please remember that Thursday is a day off due to forecasted weather events. The Key Stage 1 Science Fair was a huge success this week thanks to all the teachers, co-teachers, art department, Ms. Rony and Ms. Mireille for all their support of providing an opportunity for our students to explore a specific question in science and follow steps to test and collect data. Next week we will have the Key Stage 2 science fair. These events will be in school only.

Our current school plan regarding the health and hygiene of the school was sent out to parents. This is a dynamic and ever-changing situation so please stay tuned for further updates. We appreciate your patience and support of the health protocols we have in place.

This week brings midterm exams. Please remember a good night’s sleep, proper breakfast will help students feel prepared.  Students will then enjoy a nice 4-day break and come back rested for the completion of Term 2.  WE look forward to seeing parents at parent conferences on March 3rd. Please keep a lookout for an email with further information. Again as always, an email with any questions or concerns about exams, holidays, parent meetings or any feedback you may have.

Hello Windrose Academy parents and welcome to the month of February. This is a month which will be full of events and lots of learning. FS  and KS1 will be working towards the 100th Day of School. KS2 is working towards their academic goals in all areas. KS3 and KS4 are focusing on learning and are planning for some trips as well. We are in the middle of flu season, so please be cautious about sending your child to school who is ill. Time at home will help a student heal and not spread any illnesses across the classroom.
