Scorpion Sizzle – October 19, 2018

High School Transition – Gifted We thank our guidance counsellor, Kevin Williams for his presentation on Modnay night. It was so wonderful to see so many of you at the presentation. There were some questions around the High School for students in the Gifted Program. We have looked into this question and are now sharing this link with you http://www.tdsb.on.ca/Find-your/School/Gifted-Program-School-Finder You can access this link, put in your address and you will learn of your designated High School for the Gifted Program.

Photo Day Photo retake day is on Monday. We will also be taking our class photos on Monday. Looking forward to seeing the smiles!

Halloween Fun On Friday, October 26th, we will be having our first school dance for the school year! We cannot wait! If your child would rather participate in a different school activity, we will have other options available. All students are encouraged to wear black and orange on Friday, the 26th of October. Halloween costumes will be worn on October 31st. Please remember, masks, weapons, light sabres and inappropriate costumes, for school, are not permitted.

Safety We thank you for keeping our neighbourhood safe. Please remember to drop off students a few blocks away from the school, to ease congestion on Fenn Avenue. We ask that you continue to keep traffic flowing, by staying in your vehicle at all times. Please drop your child and continue to drive out of the congestion. Please do not leave your vehicle parked and unattended. We thank you for your ongoing cooperation.
