Good morning.

Please see the school website for information about school re-opening on June 1st.

Be aware that it is not for regular classes or a chance to come to school to visit.  

Grade 7 and 8 students are able to come in on Wednesdays to spend time with a specific teacher.  

You must make an appointment, by email, with the teacher you want to see--do not contact the office. If you have had difficulty learning at home or if you need time at school with your teacher to understand big concepts you've been struggling with, I invite you to contact a teacher for a time.  

It will be on Wednesday afternoon for grade 8 and the morning is for grade 7.

I will no longer accept late work.  Submit your work on the day it's due otherwise I will consider it incomplete; some of you wait until I post the answers then submit it.  

Check the blog daily and submit your work on the due date.

The following people haven't yet submitted their yearbook write-ups.  

Please do so today; Ms. Cruse is waiting for them.
