Dear Thorncliffe Families,
We hope that everyone had an opportunity to review their child’s report card. It will remain available on your myCBE account until May. If you have any questions or would like to discuss aspects of your child’s learning, please contact your child’s teacher.
Ms. Vuong is excited to start gymnastics with students starting on Monday. This is a phys. Ed unit that our students look forward to all year. Some notes for Monday:
- long hair must be tied back
- no jewelry
- no hoodies (please wear something under hoodies so they can be removed)
- no covered hands (ie. sleeves that are too long, gloves or mittens)
- please wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in that will not interfere with climbing and tumbling (ie. shorts under skirts or dresses, athletic hijabs, no loose strings, hoods, scarves, ect.)
- no hats
- running shoes must be worn (no sandals, crocs, boots, dress shoes, slide ect.)
- please note if students are not dressed appropriately for Gymnastics they will not be allowed to participate in all gymnastics activities for their own safety.
Lunar New Year was celebrated this past week on January 29th. We are thrilled to welcome a wonderful parent, Ms. Tran on Monday to share about this important celebration with our students. Thank you
Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of your weekend!
Warm Regards,
Calleigh and Nadine

February Kindness Month Initiative
February is the month of kindness. Let’s come together as a school community and make a difference to some of our families in need!
Every contribution can help our families experiencing hardships access food to feed their families. Make a donation below, which we will use to purchase grocery gift cards to provide to our families when emergencies arise. We will collect gifts until March 21, 2025.
