Dear Junior School Parents,

Library Curb Side Pick-up & Online Reading Resources

• Thank you to the families who arranged a time for book exchange, unfortunately with the recent stay at home order we will NO LONGER be offering curb side pickup. This applies to students in JK to Grade 6.

• Online Reading Resources
  • For your reference, here is a link to the SORA/OVERDRIVE APP. This will allow you and your child to access ebooks and audiobooks from Havergal’s library collection on any device. It is also possible to connect your personal public library account on Sora, for access to an even greater number of books. If you do not have a public library card, many libraries are offering digital cards that you can register for online. 
  • Here is the sign-in  information you need:
    • Students are able to simply use their Havergal username and password.
    • This  SET-UP GUIDE may also be helpful.

Co-Curriculars

Please note the following updates to the co-curricular updates, effective next week:

Grade 1 – 4

• Starting next week, co-curriculars in Grade 1 – 4 will be asynchronous. Homeroom Teachers, will also share this link on Seesaw and Google Classroom. These continue to be optional.

Grades 5 – 6

• Synchronous Co-Curriculars will continue for the next several weeks for students in Grades 5 & 6. In addition, we have created a list of list of asynchronous co-curricular options that students can also choose to participate in.

Prayers

It has been absolutely wonderful to see so many members of our community continue to attend prayers. It will continue on Mondays and Fridays, however the timing will now be from 3:30 pm – 3:50 pm.
