School Transportation Cancelled Wednesday December 9, 2009

Please note that all school transportation is cancelled today due to the winter storm warning and expected inclement weather conditions for the Ottawa area.

Bienvenue and Welcome to the website for

Mme Evernden’s grade 1 class

Daily School Schedule

• 8:00 AM – Classes Begin
• 9:30 AM to 9:45 AM – Recess
• 11:05 AM to 12:05 PM – Lunch
• 1:25 PM to 1:40 PM – Recess
• 2:30 PM – Dismissal

The site might look at little bit different today.  I’ve decided to streamline the webpage in order to make it easier to find the content for the class – no more going back and forth between two webapges.  From now on, everything will be located right here on mmeevernden.edublogs.org.

The blog – which is updated every school day – will now be accessible via the Posts link over there on the right hand side.  Or you can take advantage of the RSS feature of this site, which gives you quick access to changes made to the site without having to navigate through lots of pages and posts.

It is my hope that we are all getting comfortable using this site and I will no longer need to send home the monthly newsletter in a paper copy – anything to help the environment!   If you do not have access at home to the internet please let me know and we will make the appropriate accommodations.

Education is a home-school partnership and it is imperative to me that the lines of communication always remain open. As a result, this year I will be maintaining this class website, with updates occuring on a fairly regular basis, in order to keep you in the loop with what is going on at school.  I will be using the blog – which you can find by clicking on the link to posts on the right – on a daily basis to allow you to be aware of homework and any information about the class or school.

Please do not ever hesitate to contact me.  I can be reached at the school by calling 613-825-0092, or via a note in your child’s communication folder.  You can also leave a comment on here and I will reply as soon as possible.  Some days are very busy in our grade one world, so please know that if I do not get back to you immediately, you have not fallen off my radar.

Thanks for your cooperation et à la prochaine!

Jennifer Evernden
