Thank you to all the Eco-Warriors, Eco-Buds, staff and parents who organized this week's Earth Week activities. You did an amazing job! A special thanks to the grade 7 and 8 students who ran the Olympics for the student body. You demonstrated amazing leadership skills throughout the day. We have our Eco-Audit in a few weeks and the group is working hard to prepare. We currently have Gold Status and are hoping that we, one day, get Platinum! A special thanks to Ms. Moser and Mrs. Besner who have been advocates for our school!
Now that the nice weather is here, we will be practising our three fire drills and one lockdown. We practice with the students to ensure they know the expectations in case of a real event.
Just a quick reminder that if your child will not be here in September, to please inform your class teacher and the office. Soon we will begin class placements. As in previous years, staff work together in teams to place the students in classes for the following September. Gender, academic achievement, social needs, and ministry caps are among the list of things that we consider when placing children. The goal of student placements is to have 'balanced' classes. As most of you know, we do not take 'teacher' requests from parents and we ask that you honour this part of the process. By the end of the year, teachers have a good understanding of their students and place the children accordingly. In most cases, staffing hasn't fully been completed until the end of the year, and as most of you know, changes happen all the way into September. We thank you in advance.
