PARENT(S) / GUARDIAN(S): Progress Reports have been sent home this afternoon. The Parent/Teacher Interview time is stated on the envelope. I look forward to meeting with students and parents during Thursday evening or Friday morning sessions. If these dates/times need adjusting, kindly leave a message with MsDanielle 416 393 1770 and we will reschedule soon.

 REMINDER TO ALL STUDENTS: should any assigned class tasks be completed with time available to move onto something else, using devices is an option to complete (teacher/student agreed upon) online courses such as Ignition (digital responsibility) or Vault (math). Please NOTE that online gaming that is not connected to a task is not acceptable; this also includes viewing music videos during class time that is not assigned to a task.
