We hope that all parents/guardians had an excellent Thanksgiving with family and friends!
Grade 9 parents/guardians - The Northern Lights College Open House is this Thursday, October 16th. Busses will be here right at 8:55 and students will go to NLC with their teacher after attendance is taken. They will get to see all the different options available at the college as part of their careers education. Please be sure that your student has their signed permission form in. If you need a permission form, email Jill jburres@sd59.bc.ca
Please be aware that interim reports are going out this week. Some have already gone out but all reports will be out this week. If your student is behind in their work, study hall will be available next week at lunch time. Students can bring their work and their lunch and get help to catch up before the quarter ends on November 7th. Students can come of their own volition, teachers may give us a list of students, or parents can sign them up. Just email Ms. Lowe dlowe@sd59.bc.ca to reserve your student a space.
Hallowe'en is fast approaching. The 31st is a Friday and we do have many students dress up for Hallowe'en. Here are the school rules about costumes:
- No weapons of any kind with your costume.
- Nothing (mask or hood) which makes it impossible to see your face in the hallways or in the classroom at teacher’s request.
- You have to be able to navigate the hallways, stairways, shop without problems. Blown up costumes may not work.
- Your costume must be within the Dress Code. No inappropriate dress. It is attached.
