Tonight, Grade8's have homework in Math- Chapter 12.2 1-8.  Grade 7's have chapter 8.2 to finish.  Both 7's and 8's have a French and History test tomorrow.  History and French are a priority. 

 

Don't forget that Friday is a PD Day.

We are still collecting Christmas items.

Next Wednesday is our Rose Buddies celebration. If you would like to come and see the celebration, you are more than welcome.  Our celebration will be between 9:30am and 10:30am.  This has been a great success, you should be very proud of the professionalism your son/daughter has shown over the last 8 weeks.

 

Thanks and have a great night!

 

News and Notes for November 17th, 2009

Good afternoon all!  Just a quick update for today.  For homework, students in grade 8 can start on chapter 12.2 questions 1-8 for homework.  Students in grade 7 can finish questions in chapter 8.2.  Students have a unit test in history on Thursday, they can create a cheat sheet for history and they will be assessed on the strength of that cheat sheet as well.

 

Parents, don't forget that interviews are Thursday night.  I've sent a note home with students indicating what your time is.  If you find that the time does not suit you, please email me and we can arrange a date in the near future.  Also, a note went home reminding students and parents about our upcoming breakfast with santa.  We are gathering tea and coffee items, so don't delay-get em in as soon as possible.  Cut off is the 27th of November!

 

Also, a number of students have not brought in their forms for our Conestoga College tour for all grade eight students! If they don't have their form in, they can't go!

 

Last but not least, students have been coming to school with out appropriate clothing- specifically coats, hats and gloves/mitts.  Traditionally students at this age tend to focus more on the style of the clothing and less to it's effectiveness.  As the days get colder, I expect students come prepared to meet the demands of colder weather.

 

Thanks!

Have a great night!
