We would like, at this time, to inform families that they can now order Christmas ornaments. Please log onto the school homepage to access the flyer and additional info.

. Student may wear their winter gym uniform. This means that they will not be allowed shorts. They may wear their regular winter uniform at anytime if they feel more comfortable. Just a reminder, only school sweatshirts or spirit wear sweat shirts will be allowed in the classroom. The windows will be open daily for ventilation so students may need an extra layer.
NOTE: As of October 13th, we will begin following the Student Handbook guidelines for uniforms, hair color, haircuts, nail polish, and the like. Please keep in mind that teachers may issue demerits for violations described in the handbook.  

 Grade 8--Physics:
 This week we have begun the study of energy and energy transformations. This includes calculations of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.

 I would like to update parents on the importance of following our uniform policy. Students should be in winter complete winter uniforms.All details about what constitutes a complete uniform can be found in the opening pages of your child's agenda which was given out on the first day of school. This includes all the information needed, including what may and may not be worn on dress down days, as well as school policy on hair color, makeup, accesories, sweatshirts and nail color. This policy will be strictly adhered to as spelled out in the agenda. Teachers will begin to give out demerits for not following said information.  

At this time, I would also like to update you on some other confusing issues .Students should only be bringing in things discussed in class which are on the supply list. For my class that would be 2 notebooks--1 can be kept at home and brought in when needed- the other should be in class. Obviously pens , pencils, markers and an empty folder. These items can be left in their desk and not transported back and forth. I would also like to see their textbook tomorrow which I will request from time to time. I will be sure to tell the students and post it when they can leave it at home.Once the students get to school their backpack will sit next to their desk until dismissal. They will never have to carry the pack from class to class as in years past.This is pretty straightforward and hopefully, will clear up some confusion. Thanks!  Mr Reina

They will never have to carry the backpack from class to class which is much easier then in year's past. This is pretty straightforward and hopefully, clear up some confusion. Thanks!  Mr Reina
