I am not assigning anything over the Winter Break. However, there are a number of students that are behind and are missing assignments. Therefore, I recommend that you look at your marks and try to get caught up over the break if this is you.
Tuesday December 14
7-01 – The Gift Exchange for 7-01 will take place on Friday December 17 after the talent show. This date was changed from Thursday at lunch as it would work better for everyone. Please remember that the gift should be around the $5 range but you are welcome to purchase a more expensive gift if you wish. Anyone who brings a gift will be able to participate.
Monday December 13
Remember that while you are at school during this last week before the winter break you need to put forth your best effort. Try to focus in class and do your best to not distract those around you.
Marks were updated on Sunday December 12.

Term Two Marks
I have now updated a number of the term two marks. However, I am still working on the Grade 7 Memoirs and some of the Reading Response Journals. I will put those marks up once I have finished assessing them.
Thank you to everyone who came out on Thursday and Friday to discuss your child’s learning. I appreciate all of the positive feedback and I look forward to another great term.
Cheers,
