Attention Grade 8 volleyball players who are in the staff vs student game, please come see Ms Irving today or tomorrow to let them know who is on your team. 

 

Attention Students: For those who ride scooters to school, a reminder about rules:

    • You MUST wear a helmet when riding your scooter.  This is the same as a bike.  If you do not have a helmet, you are not allowed to ride it to school or on school property.
    • You should NOT ride them in the roundabout in front of the school or on sidewalks once you arrive at school.  The roundabout is a ROAD and cars are coming and going all day.  It is not safe to ride there.  It is also not safe on sidewalks because you may run into people.  You must park or hold on to your scooter once you arrive at school, and walk it into the school if that is where you store it.
  • If you are seen being unsafe with your scooter, your parents will have to come pick up you and your scooter from school.
