Latest Communication from the Tennyson pac and Tennyson administration
Hello Tennyson parents!
Welcome back to what will certainly be the most unusual school year any of us have experienced. Officially, this is the very first regular Sunday PAC email of the new school year. PAC emails are sent every Sunday and sometimes in-between when important information needs to be communicated. It is run by parent volunteers (not the school administration). It is "opt-in" so please forward this to any new parents you know and they can subscribe via the Tennyson PAC homepage.
We'd like to extend a very warm welcome to all our new families. In addition to our new kindergarten families, Tennyson has seen enrolment across all grades. We are excited to have you join our community!
Good-bye to all the parents and students who have moved on! We wish you the best at high school, your new school and beyond. You can unsubscribe via the link at the very bottom of this email.
School starts for grades 1-7 (full time option) Thursday, Sep 10th (last name A-L) or Friday, Sep 11th (last name M-Z) for a 2.5 hour student orientation. If you have not received an email from the school detailing your child's start date, please call the school. There will be further communication on Wednesday, Sep 9th regarding the class and entry location for your child. Full time school + Kindergarten Gradual Entry start Monday, Sep 14th. Families opting for school transition (option 4) should await further details from the school.
