Week of 15 September

Good Evening, 

Thanks to all those who attended the MS Back to School night last week. I hope everyone enjoyed the different format for the evening this year. It was nice to see everyone a bit more relaxed. 

Today wrapped up our last field trip for team building week. Team building week is designed to help us bring two attributes of our Student Profile to life....that of effective communicators and collaborators. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities I had to spend so much time with the students at each grade level.

Now that we have introduced those concepts to students, we will continue to create opportunities for those skills to be reinforced and developed. Thanks to all of the teachers who went on all the field trips to support students as they learn these skills. Below are a couple of photos from today's trip with Grade 6 students at the Noor Stables.




We had an incredible turnout for auditions of our MS production of Robin Hood last week. Rehearsals begin this week in preparation for the November performance. 

After School Activities begin 17 September. If your son/daughter has not yet signed up, they must do so by tomorrow. 

The first Power School update of the year is scheduled for 19 September. Please contact your son/daughter's teacher directly, after 19 Sept., if you have questions about the update. 

If your daughter is interested in participating in Girl Scouts, there is a link below for contact information.

Please continue to remind your son/daughter to charge up their laptop each night before coming to school and please ensure their laptop remains in good working order.

Enjoy your evening,

Rhonda Isley
