Please join us for our annual Remembrance Day ceremony on November 8th at 10:30am. We would also like to invite any students who are in Girl Guides, Scouts or Cadets to dress in their uniforms for the occasion.

On Wednesday, November 6, our grade 9 students will be participating in Take Our Kids to Work Day. Take Our Kids to Work Day offers families a great chance to connect with their kids, talk about potential career aspirations, learning about the goals, hopes, dreams and possibilities their student envisions for their future.

The goal of Take Our Kids to Work Day is to introduce students to the world of work and to help them begin thinking about their future careers. By engaging in this hands-on experience, students can connect what they learn in school with the real-world skills and competencies required in various jobs.

What career is of interest to your child?

We encourage parents and caregivers to arrange for their student to join them at their workplace, or connect them with a relative, neighbor, or friend who can provide a safe and educational experience. If your student is unable to participate through family connections, students should attend their regularly scheduled school day.

Here is the Official TOKTWD Video

If your child is participating in Take your kids to Work, please fill out this Permission Click form ahead of time.

Grade 9 Students! Thinking about attending post-secondary school after graduation? Not sure on the career or sector? Plan to attend this year’s Your Future: Post-Secondary and Career Fair.

Event Details:

Date: Nov. 5, 2024
Time: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Winter is here, and with it comes the great clothing mix-up! 🎿🧣 To prevent a fashion showdown in the Lost & Found, let’s label our kiddos' gear!

Because let’s face it, every child’s mittens look like they came from the same winter elf factory. If you find a rogue glove that looks suspiciously like yours, don’t panic! Just check for the secret code (a.k.a. your child’s name) and return it to its rightful owner.

So grab a permanent marker, some cute labels, or even a paint pen, and let’s make sure we don’t accidentally swap little Timmy’s bright orange hat with Lucy’s “I Love Unicorns” beanie!

Happy labeling, and may the odds of finding matching mittens be ever in your favor!

Our Wellness Wednesday regulation practice for next week will be Clench and Release. Start from the top of your body, clenching your face, hands and abdomen and hold for 10 seconds (try to hold your breath as well). Release after the 10 seconds and breathe out. Try this again 3 times (10 seconds in between each clench and release). Here is what you should look like!

This is an example of a body grounding activity. Body grounding activities are beneficial for students as they help reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance emotional regulation.

To try out previous week's regulation strategies, check out the Regulation Strategies page on our school website.
