Dear Parents/Guardians, here are the information updates for the week ending Friday, January 23rd, 2015:
FIRST TERM PROVINICAL REPORT CARDS
Your child’s report card will be coming home Monday, February 9th. Prior to this on Friday, January 30th, notification will come home to parents/guardians for TEACHER REQUESTED INTERVIEWS. These interviews will be requested under the following circumstances:
· Students who are or may be at risk for promotion
· Students whose placement in an alternative program or special education program is being considered
· Students whose academic achievement has declined significantly
We kindly ask that if you receive paper notification for a Teacher Requested Interview that you fill out and return this documentation to your child’s homeroom teacher by Wednesday, February 4th.
As always, parents/guardians may also request an interview. More information about this procedure will be communicated with you soon.
ATTENDANCE LETTERS
Parents/guardians of students with a high number of absences will soon receive a letter from Mr. Storey. Significant absences from school can have an unfortunate impact on academic success for some students. You may not have realized it, but if a student has been absent for 20 school days, this would be the equivalent of a month of school. While most students arrive at Glen Ames on time and ready for school, there remain a small number who require encouragement and support in this area.
SUPER SWIM MEET
Our Super Swim Meet will be held on January 29, 2015 in the morning. The Super Swim Meet is a school-wide event where the students race against their peers at their grade and ability level. There are also Belly Flop and Cannon Ball demonstrations and a relay race with the fastest Grade 7’s and 8’s racing against the teacher team. This is a fun, school-wide event that the students will be preparing for during their regular pool class. We hope and expect that all students will participate (if your child is unable to participate please send them with a note to excuse them from the event). The class with the best participation at the Super Swim Meet will win free swim for their next four pool classes! As usual we need parent volunteers to hand out ribbons, if you are interested please contact us at the school.
ROBOTICS
The Glen Ames Musical Misconceptionists competed last weekend against the 42 best teams from Eastern Canada today and achieved the following:
- The first Glen Ames team ever to score 3 callbacks at provincials (reaching the finals in all areas)
- A 6th place finish on the table competition.
- The inspiration award
- 4th Place Overall
PLEASE ADD TO YOUR CALENDAR:
· Jan.26th – Hockey Team plays vs. Humewood PS @ 8:00 a.m. at Leaside Arena
