January 11 - January 15

Happy New Year and welcome back!

Last week, students started their new modules for Physical Education.  The options are Broom Ball, Floor Hockey and Health Group C.

This week, students will participate in their second week of these modules.  Students who are in Broom Ball are reminded to please dress for the weather.  Any student who is not prepared to go outside will stay inside on the stage to complete an assignment and will be supervised by Mrs. Simpson.

It's that time of year again! During the months of February and March, students in Grades 4 to 9 will be taking the Human Sexuality Unit in Health classes.  We have decided to teach the Human Sexuality Unit in Health earlier than in previous years.

ALL STUDENTS IN GRADES 5 to 9 received a letter to take home on Friday.  It explains the curriculum for each grade, provides parents with links to the resources we use in the lessons and has our contact information if you have any questions.

ALL students are required to bring back the last page of the letter with either a Yes or a No for their participation in the unit BY JANUARY 19th.

There will be an opportunity to come in and ask questions or to view the resources we are using JANUARY 19th from 3:30 - 5:00 pm in the Drama Room (Room 13).  Mrs. Park and Mrs. Simpson will be available to answer any questions you may have. 

If you have any questions, email is the best way to reach us.

Have a great week!
