LOST AND FOUND ITEMS
In an attempt to control the huge amount of items in our lost and found, we have washed and hung up shirts, jackets and sweaters on a rack so the students can hopefully pick out any that belong to them. They will be on display for parent teacher interviews. If they aren't claimed in a week or so, they will be sent to the Interval Store or some other charity.
BOARD GAMES
The Board Game Club is looking for school appropriate board games that you would be willing to donate to the school. The students meet every Tuesday and Thursday after school and would appreciate any games that you would be willing to part with.
PARENT/STUDENT/ TEACHER INTERVIEWS Our next set of student-parent-teacher conferences are here. The dates are Tuesday, March 26 and Thursday, March 28. The interviews will be running from 4:00-7:00 pm without a break. This also means that the hours of the BookFair will reflect those of the interviews. We want to make sure you are aware of the interview date and will be able to find a time that works for you. Parents of grade 6-12 students are asked to follow the same format as the fall interviews and meet with the teachers as they become available during the interview sessions. We look forward to meeting with you. Note: Mrs. Knorr-Bingham will only be available for interviews on Tuesday, March 26.
