Orientation - 7G
Orientation went great this past week! Our class, 7G, is truly sensational! A package of forms was sent home on the first day with all students. There are five forms. Two of these forms need to be signed, updated if necessary, and returned to me as soon as possible. Parents and/or guardians (and students) are asked to complete, update, and send these forms back with your child. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year with 7G!
Picture Day will be on Tuesday, September 15th. The school photographer will likely be set up in our cafeteria to take photos on that day. If your child is absent on this day, they should be able to get their photo taken on Wednesday, September 16th.
Meet the Teacher will be on Wednesday, September 16th at 6:00 in the evening. I look forward to meeting all the parents and guardians of my students!
7A, 7E, 7F, 7G, 7H, 9K
This week, we will continue to devote a large portion of our time towards settling in, getting comfortable with the routine, structure, and expectations of intermediate school. Please note I teach language arts to 7G. Currently, I also teach Core French to 7E, 7F, 7G, 7H and 9K, and skills development to 7A. Please continue to follow this blog for weekly updates (usually on Sunday) on topics being discussed in class, assignments, and due dates.
Have a great week Tigers and stay safe! See you tomorrow!
