Dear Middle School Parents,
Student led conferences were a great opportunity to share with you student
learning. We had a great turn out which students really appreciated. The quali-
ty of conversaons, reecons, extending thinking, and seng goals was at a
high level throughout the aernoon and in all learning areas. We hope that you
found value in this experience and the conversaons will connue with your
child.
March 31 is our annual Elementary School Internaonal Day which last year we
decided to join in as a Middle School and we will connue again this year. On
Internaonal Day we encourage all students to dress up in something repre-
senng their naonality. Students in Middle School will start in their advisory
class at 7:30 a.m. and then head to the ES playground as a group for the Flag
Ceremony which will begin at 7:40 a.m. Aer the ag ceremony students will
head to their rst period class. At 2:00 p.m. on that day we will have a Middle
School assembly to celebrate our Internaonally Diverse community.
Advocang for Change is the nal quarter unit for grade 8 students in Social
Studies and English. This project will start on Wednesday March 25 during advi-
sory me, grade 8 parents are welcome to aend this assembly at 11:35 a.m. to
learn more about what students will be learning and the acvies they will be
taking part in which will culminate in a summit at the end of May. This is a
great project for students to demonstrate their learning and skills that they
have acquired over the course of their 8th grade year and me in Middle
School.
We would like to remind all students of our uniform guidelines which can be
found in the Middle School Student Handbook. The past number of weeks we
have noced an increase of students wearing their PE shorts outside of PE class
me. Thank you for your cooperaon in helping to remind our students of our
uniform requirements.
We hope everyone has a great weekend ahead…
Yours in Educaon,
Simon Gillespie, Middle School Principal
Amanda Pekin, Middle School Assistant Principal
