Now that we have our classes for the year, it’s time to really get started! Here is some important reminders and information for parents and students as we enter our new school year.

Planners & Schedule
  • The bell rings at 8:50am, with attendance being taken at 8:55am.
  • We will be writing in our planners each day; Ms. Coutts will check planners in the morning, and sign planners in the afternoon.
  • Students are responsible for sharing their planner with their parents and getting their “autograph.”
  • Planner and reminder information can be found on our class webpage under “Homework & Reminders.”
  • Once our Library/PE/Music/etc. schedules are set, you can find that info under the Homework & Reminders menu in order to be prepared for that day.
Phones/Technology
  • Phones are to be left at home or kept in a locked classroom cupboard between 8:55-3:00. Parents are invited to leave messages with the office if needed, and students have access to a school phone when needed.
  • Students will use school technology under supervision.
Lockers
  • Grade 7 students will use lockers 1-14 to store their bags and coats (lunch bags/water will be brought to classroom).
P.E.
  • Bring sneakers/runners on P.E. days — no boots
  • Wear flexible clothing on P.E. days — no jeans
  • Bring an extra t-shirt if you’d like to change your top after P.E.
Lunch Time
  • Students eat lunch in their classrooms.
  • A student must be picked up by their parent/adult if going off schoolgrounds for lunch–no student will be leaving campus without supervision.
