_______________________________
Please be sure you let the office know if your son/daughter will be coming to school on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Traditionally, Grade 8 students do not return to school after graduation - they have graduated, they have their report cards ... but we need to know one way or another. Please ensure that you let us know (by the form that was sent home or a phone call to the office) - we need to ensure that we have attendance completed correctly.
______________________
Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions - there was LOTS of paperwork that went home in the last month and I know it's hard to keep it all straight!
Keep calm! We're almost at grad and the kids are soooo excited!

What can you do?
- Donate books that you no longer need. There is a bin in the foyer where you can drop off children, teen and adult books. Drop them off and then buy some for yourself on the day of the sale.
- There will also be a plant sale. Details to follow.
Have a great day at school!

Hi all
Tomorrow - Tuesday - we are off to the Science Centre. There are a couple of you who have not brought back your permission forms. No permission forms? You will not be going! Get them signed and brought back, please! Good grief, people!
Remember - a disposable lunch (not sure why the Science Centre wants you to throw things in the garbage, but those were the instructions).
Dress comfortably - there will be a scavanger hunt with lots of walking.
Backpacks and cellphones are not permitted.
Enjoy this beautiful day - see you tomorrow.
