HOUSEKEEPING:



1. Field trip!  On Friday, December 15th the grades 5-8 will be going to the local Cineplex to see "Wonder".  Permission form went home today.  Payment and signed permission forms are due Monday, December 11 (school cash online is up and running).

2.  Grade 8 Parents: we had a visit from Aurora High Guidance outlining the basics of transition to high school and course selection.  Tonight, please sit down with your child to go over the process for course selection.  We can't actually select them yet, but it's good to be familiar with the process.  As well, each student was given a red package which includes all necessary forms for the transition process.

3.  Holiday Heroes boxes continue to fill up again and again - well done! 


4. For those parents/guardians who were unable to attend the Grade 8 Muskoka trip last night, your child was given the handout today.
 
KUDOS TO:    1. Scott, Aimee, Derese, Mikayla, Jamie, Carter, Gabby: thank you for helping with the jr. volleyball team.  Beyond the enormous help you offer, you serve as excellent role models for the younger kids.  As well thanks to Betty, Carter, Ella, and Ethan for helping put together the permission forms.
