IT'S CRUNCH TIME, KIDS...

It's crunch time, kids! With report cards on the horizon, I cannot stress how important it is for you to complete your assignments and get them handed in. I'm trying to get my marks entered into Grade Machine, so I can print off an completion report for each of you. Please remember that any assignments handed in after November 25, will be included on your second term report card.

I want to take this opportunity to share some information with you. I had a personal leave approved last spring. My son has an amazing volunteer opportunity with a company that he hopes to work for one day. I will be accompanying him to support his medical needs. The school will be posting my position and hiring one person to fill the position from Jan-March. I will return after Spring Break.
