A Wonderful Week Behind Us and Exciting Days Ahead!
Dear FEO Families,
What an absolutely fantastic week we've had at FEO! Picture Day went smoothly (thank you for getting everyone camera-ready!), and it's been incredible to see our soccer, basketball, and cross country teams hit the ground running. The energy and enthusiasm from our student athletes has been contagious throughout the entire school.
Looking ahead to this coming week, we have some meaningful events that I'm excited to share with you:
Terry Fox Run - We'll be honoring Terry Fox's incredible legacy by participating in our annual Terry Fox Run, and we're thrilled to be joining forces with Marion Carson School for this special event! If you're able, we invite you to send a toonie to school for "Toonies for Terry" to support cancer research - every contribution makes a difference.
Eagle Time - Our Friday Eagle Time session will focus on Terry Fox's remarkable contributions to Canada and cancer research. It's a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about courage, determination, and making a positive impact on the world.
Orange Shirt Day Preparation - We're also beginning our preparations for Orange Shirt Day, an important time for learning and reflection.
I know that news of the ATA's potential strike action beginning October 6th may be creating uncertainty and concern for many of you. As parents and caregivers, it's completely natural to worry about how this might affect your children's education and daily routines.
I want you to know that our teachers remain deeply committed to providing the best possible education for your children. While we navigate these discussions occurring at a broader level, our focus in the classroom continues to be on delivering quality learning experiences and supporting each student's growth and well-being.
We are carrying on with business as usual, maintaining our regular programming and continuing to plan engaging activities for our students. Our dedication to your children's education remains unwavering, regardless of the external circumstances.
Thank you for your continued support in making our school community such a vibrant and caring place.
Warm regards,
Dr. Michael Cutler
Principal | F.E. Osborne
GOOGLE CLASSROOM | Weekly Updates
Beginning October 6th, teacher's weekly classroom updates will be transitioning to Google Classroom and will be delivered directly to your email inbox.
This change will allow us to provide you with more comprehensive and detailed information about your child's academic progress, including:
- Specific insights into student work and assignments
- Enhanced details about classroom activities and learning objectives
- More thorough updates on your child's academic development
You will continue to receive these communications weekly via email, but they will now originate from Google Classroom, giving us the ability to share richer content and more meaningful updates about your child's educational journey.
MEET THE TEACHER | September 25 @ 6:00 PM
We’re excited to welcome families to FEO for our upcoming Meet the Teacher evening! This is a wonderful chance to follow your child’s timetable, meet their teachers, and connect with our school administration. We’ll be sharing more details soon—stay tuned!
SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING | September 25 @ 7:00 PM
One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation.
Our first school council meeting of the year will immediately follow our "Meet the Teacher" night. The council meeting will be held in-person at FEO!
