School Update
O
ver the course of Summer many steps were taken to make our school a better, safer, learning environment. Glass windows have been installed in the hallways outside the grade 4 classrooms where previously it was an open-air space. The stage in the PY Gym has been converted to a new set of changing rooms. The canteen has also been expanded in order to create more eating space for students. As part of our commitment to keeping students healthy during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, social distancing stickers have been installed on the floors of the hallways, partitions have been installed in the canteen and in classrooms, and sanitizing UV lights have been placed in each classroom which are turned on at night while there is no one in the building. The PY has also installed a number of sinks in the outdoor play areas in order for students to clean their hands. While some of these additions are temporary, others will play a permanent role in keeping everyone healthy and improving school life.

An amazing new PY Music room has been constructed next to the PY Gym. The new music room is more versatile as it has both risers for students to sit and stand on, as well as open floor space where students can sit in groups. A new, moveable, large-screen TV makes the delivery of classroom material more dynamic and allows presentations to occur in multiple spaces. There is also better storage space for musical equipment. Mr. Sebert and Ms. Allen are already finding that this new classroom is having a positive impact on the way students learn music.
