Welcome to our students, to our families and to our community.
We are fortunate to have this opportunity to create a place where we can inspire learning together. I am honoured to be able to work with all of you as we continue this learning journey. Our school is named after the author Robert Munsch who once said “I am a storyteller. I write books for kids, I talk to kids, and I listen to kids.”
This website will help us maintain "static" information that tends not to change much while Edsby communications will ongoing bulletins with up to date information. Our School Council has recently named these bulletins 'Munsch On This'.
Robert Munsch Public School is somewhat unique in our school board as we have an Early Years’ Learning focus with students from grades JK through to 3 only. Our opening also aligns with our board’s launch of its new and innovative Early Year’s Learning Strategy: Birth to Grade 3. The Strategy has four core tenets that will provide a foundation for the work we do together, including:
Building Collaborative Culture
Building Capacity, Learning Together
Building Creative, Capable, Competent Thinkers
Building Continuity
Our vision for the school also mirrors the Strategy’s vision that “each child is at the centre of responsive decision making”. This journey will require of us thoughtful planning, openness, meaningful relationships, collaboration, observations and conversations. This is exciting work and I look forward to building relationships within our community to create an inspiring, healthy, and kind school for learning and growing.
Finally, our work will proceed on the understanding that “family is a child’s first teacher”. Thus, our parents and guardians are critical to our success. We appreicate your partnership and welcome your input. Please feel welcome to join our School Council meetings or just give a call to share your committment to your childs' education journey.
There are many opportunities that await us.
In partnership,
Jennifer Burt
Principal
