Sparling Newsletter

It is hard to believe we are already into June, especially given the changes we have experienced since mid-March. As we look to wrap up the current school year and begin to think about what fall will look like for our school, I know there are many questions. We will continue to update you as information becomes available. In this newsletter you will find information about:

• Our Mission and Vision Statement moving forward into the 2020-21 school year
• Plans for June 19 to celebrate and provide closure to the 2019-20 school year
• June fitness calendar to support ideas to stay well
• Battle River Race Series Virtual Run Information
• ECKS information for our transitioning Grade 5 students
• Kindergarten Registration Information
• Link for latest BRSD parent survey

As we move through the month of June, please continue to check our website and social media pages regularly for updates. As always if you have questions or concern we are available at the office to take your calls. Please be assured that our Sparling School Community is here to support you and ensure Every Student, Everyday, A Success.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Gutmann

As part of our ongoing work to ensure Every Student, Everyday, A Success the Sparling School team have been collaborating to create a mission and vision statement which embodies our commitment to students. This work encompasses the student and staff voices and our next step in the fall will be to invite our students to create a new Logo!

Vision

Sparling Stars - "Dream, Believe, Achieve"

Mission

Sparling Stars will grow and learn in an inclusive environment that is supported by: community involvement, relationships, early intervention, and collaboration to empower every child.
