October 15, Headmaster Email

Dear Parents,

I realized that this this email did not send yesterday as intended. Please take note of the things happening today! (Used uniform items, t-shirt orders due, coffee fundraiser due.)

House of Raven to Join 55+ Luncheon

As I shared last week, our students will begin joining the Senior's monthly luncheon. This will begin with the house of Raven next Tuesday, October 19. Parents of Raven students: Your children need to where formal attire next Tuesday. They will give a brief presentation (school motto and hymn) and sit in pairs dispersed among the seniors during the meal.

FSAs

FBCA will not be taking the FSAs this year. As a group 3 school, we are not mandated to take these provincial exams. After doing so voluntarily for two years, we have determined taking the FSAs is not the wisest use of our time and resources. We hope the removal of FSAs will be a blessing to our students and families. We are looking into options of similar tests that have been developed specifically for Classical Schools, but have no plans currently and will let you know well in advance should something be administered.

Used Uniform Items

After school today, many (non-crested) uniform items will be on display in the fellowship hall (lunch room) for you to take--for FREE! Whatever is not taken today will be donated to a thrift store.

Going forward, the school will only accepted donations of crested uniform items to be resold at a discounted price. We ask that all other items be sold or given away among yourselves.

School T-shirts

If your child has not yet received a complimentary grey school shirt (PE shirt), please notify us ASAP.

If you would like to order one for your self, send your size to fbcauniform@gmail.com by TODAY October 15. The cost is $20.

Finally, if you have experienced issues with your current shirts, please return them to the office as soon as possible to be sent away for warranty.
