So, one of my students in grade eight announces almost every day now how many days left in the school year...and the number is getting lower and lower! 

Students are excited about many activities that happen at this time of the year:  Blue Jays game, assemblies, sports and aarts events.  Things like homework, quizzes, tests and projects often don't seem quite as "exciting" as they used to, in comparison with the craziness of May and June at school.  I know it's hard to stay focused to the end, but it is so important to end the year well.  We still have several weeks left, and yes, they count! 

Friday last week I sent home the third monthly progress report from semester two.  I trust that parents have received it now.  Please take a look to see how your child is progressing.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks for your support!
