Keeping the Crew up to Date! Volume 3 Issue 12 - 11/10/24
Clipper Nation,
Term 1 = ✅
Any student who completes the term without recovering their absences for any days beyond four unexcused absences will receive an "E" on their report card. If your student needs to make up missed days, please ensure they attend Step Up sessions. Details for Step Up are provided below. The last day to recover attendance for the first term will be November 26th.
We will start this Monday by honoring seven staff members who are veterans. We thank them and all our Clipper Veterans for their service.
Last week, we had the great BMX No Hate Assembly, which promoted being true to your passion and anti-bullying. This week, we will continue our positive focus by celebrating World Kindness Day on Wednesday.
As we begin term 2, let's have another great week on the Clipper Ship, and let's make sure every day is a great day to be a Clipper.
