Principal’s Message

Welcome to Satoo Elementary School and to our new website! Our staff take great pride in being members of Satoo School and as a professional learning community, we work to set high standards so that we can continually improve teaching and learning for our students. We link our work to real life or authentic learning opportunities to make learning as relevant and meaningful for our students as possible. We are truly committed to providing an engaging and caring learning environment for all students at Satoo School.

In the partnerships we foster between school and home, we recognize our responsibility to keep you informed of what is happening at our school. We hope that through our new website, we will be able to keep you more informed about our learning community. We encourage you to check the website regularly for up-to-date information and we welcome any suggestions you have as our site continues to evolve. 

In addition to our website, our student agendas outline some of the main features of our program as well as some of the more general routines in the operation of the school. We hope that you will find the information useful and recommend that you discuss appropriate items with your children. In addition, we request that you review the behavior expectations we have for all students at Satoo.
 
If, at any time, you have questions that the handbook or our website do not address, please feel free to call your child’s teacher or the school office. We always welcome families to drop by the school office as well. We thank you for your ongoing support in helping us form a community of learning that supports our childrens' success.
   

May News!

May has arrived! This is always such an exciting time of year. It is a time where there is so much left to accomplish while plans for the new school year are well under way. With the warmer weather and long days it is easy to slip into “summer mode” with daydreams of hot summer days and vacation time. But with a little over a month of school left, we must be vigilant and remember that there is still learning to accomplish.

These remaining days will go by very quickly but are vitally important to your child’s successful completion of their grade.   Students have now completed both the reading and written components of the HLAT’s (Highest Level of Achievement Tests) but the Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) are yet to come. In May and June of this year, all grades three and six students throughout the province will write the PATs. Grade 6 students will write PATs in four subject areas: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Grade three students will write PATs in language arts and mathematics. Please see the attached list of exam dates.

What’s New at Satoo?

Best wishes to our student teachers who completed their student teaching at the end of April. We wish them continued success in their teaching journey

Thank you for making the third annual Taste of Satoo a great success once again this year. Your donations of time and culinary skills were very much appreciated!

The month of May will conclude with the Nor’Wester Athletic Association teaching non-contact rugby to our division II students. Students will have the opportunity again this year to learn about rugby through game-based instruction.

Remember that there is no school on May 21st or May 22nd.
