Good afternoon everyone:

Today several of you had one more wake up call about overdue assignments.  Please remember that the latest I can take in any of these assignments is this Wednesday, June 13th.

Our class potluck is tomorrow.  Remember your food.  Also due right away - all library books.  If you have any books at home, please bring them back asap. 

Have a great day everyone.

Good afternoon everyone.

We are into our final month of the school year.  We have a lot of important dates coming up so please keep your eyes on the Important Dates for June.  Tomorrow is Track and Field.  Competing students need to come dressed for track, bring a lunch and plenty of water.  There will be a canteen available so bringing money is also an option.  Other students are expected to be at school for the day.

As we are into our final month, it is sometimes difficult to stay focused and on top of assignments.  Please remember that we have 17 school days left and each of those days are important.  Stay focused, keep getting assignments done and attendance is still very important.  We're almost there!

Just in case this note didn't make it home . . .

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Beginning Thursday, April 26^th, our next unit of study in the Health class will be Sexual Health.  The purpose of this unit is to equip students with the information they need to make healthy life decisions and to support others to do the same.  We will cover topics such as sexual knowledge, attitudes and healthy decision making.  The curriculum outcomes regarding this study are as follows:

Assess the social, cultural, and environmental influences on and supports for sexual health knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, and decisions. 

Appraise the role of “support” in making healthy decisions related to family roles and responsibilities, non-curable infections/diseases, violence and abuse, body image, sustainability, and sexual health. 

Analyze the health opportunities and challenges, and establish “support others” personal goal statements, related to family roles and responsibilities, non-curable infections/diseases, violence and abuse, body image, sustainability, and sexual health. 

As part of this unit, I have invited Planned Parenthood in to give a special presentation called, “After the Talk”.  The purpose of this presentation is to discuss safe sex practices, contraception, sexually transmitted infections and consent.  They will be showing a power point presentation, discussing how pregnancy occurs, how to prevent pregnancy, what STI’s are and how they can be prevented.  If you are not comfortable allowing your child to see this power point, please let me know and they will be excused from the class.  An alternate assignment will then be sent home for your child to complete with you, in order to meet the curriculum requirements. This presentation will take place on Tuesday, May 8^th.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I can be reached at the school at (306) 791-8585 or by email: angela.scott@rbe.sk.ca.

Take care and enjoy the rest of your week.

Sincerely,

Angela Scott

Hello everyone. 

Grade 8's, tomorrow is Grade 8 Farewell Photo Day.  Individual photos will be done in the morning.  In the afternoon, we will be boarding a bus and travelling to Mr. MacKenzie's residence to take the group photo with him.  We have not done this in the past as Mr. MacKenzie has come to the school for the picture in past years.   We apologize for the delay in communicating our plans.

Have a great evening.

Good afternoon.

Grade Eights - if you are at all interested in getting a year book, please send an email to the address on the note that has now gone home at least twice.

All students - remember to pay for the Rob Nash concert and return the permission form to me.

Also, stay out of the puddles and bring extra socks to school - please - for everyone's sake!!!!!

Homeroom potluck tomorrow.  Remember your food/drinks/desserts/plates/forks/cups - whatever you signed up for.

Hello and Happy April.  I hope you all had a great Spring Break.  Hopefully the weather starts cooperating soon and it will actually feel like spring.

Any Grade Sevens who are interested in writing the Waterloo, Gauss Math contest, please see me ASAP.  We need to register by April 20th.  To prepare, we will be fast tracking through the rest of the Grade Seven Math Curriculum using Pre-Assessments and old math contest papers.  We will be meeting twice a week; after school on Mondays and before school on Thursdays.  If you are unable to make one of those times, I can also meet during lunch hours on Day 3.

Please take a peak at the Homework Updates and Dates to Remember for April.  Remember to bring your money this week to participate in the various special days to raise money for Teddy Bears Anonymous.

Have a great day everyone.
