Terry Fox School Run! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Dear Parents,

Our students will be participating in the annual Terry Fox School Run on Thursday, October 9th! Leading up to the run, we’ll be learning about Terry’s legacy of courage and perseverance in class.

If you would like to support cancer research, you can donate directly to our school's fundraising page here:

Thank you for helping our students carry forward Terry’s dream!

Chromebooks

Good afternoon families,

A few students are bringing home their school Chromebooks this weekend to finish typing the final copies of their Summer Recount writing assignments.

Please review the following details regarding device safety and usage:

• Why work is coming home: Chromebooks are only sent home when a major assignment is due and additional time is needed.

• Device availability: These students indicated they do not have access to a device at home to complete their work.

• School Policy: If your child does have access to a home computer or tablet, they should leave their assigned Chromebook safely at school to prevent loss or damage.

Thank you for your support with keeping our school tech safe!
