Updates

There are some changes in our timetable. We have a new Music teacher. Starting next week, Ms. Karamitsos and I will teach our own Art and Drama/Dance. I'll update the Daily Timetable.

Our Terry Fox run on Friday was a huge success. Thanks for joining us and cheering us and also for the generous donations.

Fall Fair is on Thursday. How exciting! Our class was asked to bring Action Figures/Dolls and accessories for the Silent Auctions. Please send them by Wednesday.

Thank you for working on the Online Math questions with your children.

Tumblebook is a great website for reading books with your children online. Simply Google Tumblebooks and you'll find links to the website.

Communication

It is my goal to keep both students and parents fully informed of the expected learnings in each area of the curriculum and to communicate openly about each student’s progress. Below are a few ways we can keep in touch.

Agenda

Agenda is the best way to communicate on a daily basis. Parents can write notes to me and I will try my best to write back on the same day.

 

In Person

If you would like to meet me in person, please send a note with your child and we can arrange a meeting.

Phone

If you want to get in touch with me regarding an emergency or to share any concerns, please call the school office and leave a message for me. I'll call you back as soon as possible.

Greetings from Mrs. Aziz

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I’m extremely delighted to have been given the opportunity to work as the Grade 2/3 teacher at Presteign Height PS. I have taught at various TDSB schools before, including Maurice Cody PS and Timberbank Jr. PS. I am looking forward to getting to know the grade 2 and 3 students in Room 3 and to working with them and their families.

One of my teaching philosophies is to prepare the students to face an increasingly complex world. The ability to think critically, relate effectively with others and adapt to the changes are crucial to our students’ success.  I believe that by modelling care, compassion, cooperation and humour, we all can contribute to the success of all children.

Please visit this website on a weekly basis as I will post important information regarding  upcoming events in our classroom and the school.

I look forward to a great year with you all!

Regards,

Almas Aziz
