Just like we have indoor and outdoor footwear, we are asking that students have indoor and outdoor masks. With the colder weather, masks get damp quickly and lose their effectiveness when so. Students all have a hook on the side of their desks to hang their masks for the morning or afternoon to dry them out. Thank you for your cooperation.

 Etudes Sociales test demain intro et chapitre 1

I spoke today to students about their job as students to get work done and handed in on time. I will give extensions to a certain point, and send notes to parents asking for late assignments. However after some time I need to move on. In that case, any work not handed in, will result in a note home, saying your child did not hand something in and they will receive a NM (no mark). This is to let you know that your child is not doing their assignments, even with prodding and reminders. If you have any questions about this, we can speak of it during the next virtual interviews. 

MONDAY test de Math

 Musique:

It is getting too confusing with all the posts on FG for O Canada, so I have sent a new link for part 3. If you have done it already, sorry, do it again please and be clear and concise for the littles. Merci
