We have missed a lot of class time recently and will be doing our best to make it up.  The last Friday of the month will now be a full school day.  Parent/Teacher conferences will now take place fromk 3-6 on April 9th as opposed to during school hours.  Our school year will be extended to end two days later than previously planned.  The PD day scheduled for May 8th will now be a full classroom day.  We will also pick up two additional days when district schools are closed for subject council meetings.We are doing are best to make sure we maintain the high standards set at the beginning of the year.  In order to accomplish this, attendance and attention must be the highest priority.  The remainder of the school year will fly by.  We have to make every minute count!

It's been a crazy couple of days with the winter weather.  This has interupted our assessment preparation but I'm sure the students will make a strong showing regardless. We will not have any homework until we return to school on January 6, 2015. We will be having a pizza party in class on Tuesday, December 16 in recognition of our excellent attendance in term 1.  This will take place during our lunch and recess time. Our Christmas Concert will take place on December 16 in the afternoon.  Grade 8 students will be presenting a video that we made using photoshop. We are currently selling tickets on a Christmas basket.  Please see any grade 8 student for a ticket.  They are $2 each or 3 for $5.  All proceeds will go toward the grade 8 end of the year field trip.  The more we raise, the better our trip will be!
