All Library Items DUE June 26th

The end of the year is quickly approaching, and our wonderful librarian would like to remind everyone that all items are DUE no later than Wednesday June 26th. The time has come to look under beds, in lockers, and all around the house for anything that should be sent back to the library.

Thank you!

Bamfield 2013 Parent Information Meeting! Wednesday June 19th @ 6:30pm

It is our pleasure to invite you to our upcoming parent information meeting for the Bamfield 2013 trip. We will be heading to the coast on Sunday, September 22nd, and returning on Friday September 27th. 

We will meet at 6:30pm on Wednesday, June 19th to discuss the details of the trip, distribute information booklets and consent forms, and answer any questions you may have. It is very important that you attend this meeting!

Due to the nature of this trip and because the beginning of grade 9 is extremely busy, we are looking forward to starting this process early. 

Forms will be due back at the school no later than June 26th, 2013, and will be posted here once finalized. 

Human Sexuality

We have begun our lessons on human sexuality in all grade 8 classrooms. Each homeroom will be covering similar topics, but the speed and amount covered in each class may vary as required.

Rocky Mountain Tour!

****The bus leaves at 7:30 on Tuesday morning! Please make sure you are at the school in time to catch the bus!***

Hello All!

We are getting very excited for our upcoming trips, and wanted to send out a couple of reminders!

1. Please ensure that you have paid for this trip through the CSS website!

2. Take some time to review the packing list and forecast for your trip. Being prepared is an essential part of having a great time!

3. Remind your child that they may NOT bring any electronics with them on the trip, with the exception of a digital camera. If the only camera they have is a phone, we suggest picking up a disposable camera for the week.

4. All medications must be handed in to Mrs. Waite or Miss Groeller on Tuesday morning before departure. They will make sure that meds are taken when needed.

Thank you once again for your support!

The Grade 8 Team :)

Don't forget about the Spectrum!

Mr. Dittman has been doing such a fantastic job on the Spectrum this year, and many are not seeing it because it is digital. Bookmark this link on the homepage for access to the current, and past, issues of the Spectrum!
