Hello everyone! Hope you are staying healthy and well in these interesting times! 

Teachers will be touching base with you this week. At this time, I have sent an email to all grade 8s using MyEd (the primary email contact listed) and Period 2 teachers will be phoning students by the end of the week.

There is no Science work to do this week.

Please check https://learning.burnabyschools.ca for this week.

There is information about using your Office 365 Emails and a Digital Citizenship Webquest to complete at https:// learning.burnabyschools.ca/students 

Moving forward please do check Office 365 emails / Teams  for more information next week. 

Take care and looking forward to connecting with you soon!
