February Kindness Week

Kindness Week was a huge success at Stuart Baker ES. Our teachers and students were engaged in meaningful
lessons and conversations about respect, how to respond to conflicts and the difference between teasing, mean
moments, conflicts and bullying. We are so proud of our Stuart Baker Bears! We will continue to focus on supporting students with understanding and navigating difficult situations that occur during the school day.

Save the Date! Scott Graham is visiting SBES!

We are excited to welcome Scott Graham to continue the conversation about anti-bullying and kindness. Scott Graham is an award-winning presenter who is passionate about educating youth about leadership and anti-bullying strategies. In addition to his speaking engagements, Scott Graham is a bestselling author, singer-songwriter, and producer of COURAGE: the Leadership anti-bullying video.

We are planning an assembly for our Grade 1-3 students on April 11, at 11:30am. More information about Scott Graham can be found here: https://kids4kids.ca/

Early Dismissal

Our educators work hard to ensure that the day is full of valuable instruction for your children. Early dismissal from school puts students at risk of missing important learning, and it interrupts the learning of others in the classroom. While we understand early pick-up is required for appointments and some extra-curricular activities, we encourage families to wait until 3:15 to pick up students.

Spring News

  • Mini-stick season is over March 7. We look forward to getting our basketball nets out as the snow melts away!
  • The spring weather brings lots of wet clothes, shoes, and boots. We would appreciate you sending extra socks, mitts, and event pants to school, just in case!
