Classroom News - Nov. 10

Unfortunatly, due to schedule conflicts, our 7M class missed out on the MC Knoll Remembrance Day Service today.  They instead went to Yorkdale for PAA.

ALL Term 1 assignments are now OVERDUE.  As a result, those students who have failed to meet this expectation may receive an "Insufficient Evidence" on their report card OR may not receive their report card until ALL work is accomplished.

Speaking of Term 1, student-parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 23 and Thursday, Nov. 24.  Information was sent home today with specific dates and times to your interview.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school ASAP.

Also, Gr. 7 students are responsible for the upcoming bake sale on Friday, Nov. 11.  YUMMY!  A small newsletter was sent home today with specifics.  

There will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 11) as it is Remembrance Day.  As well, there will be NO SCHOOL Monday, Nov. 15 (Day-in-lieu). 

Have a wonderful long-weekend!
