Important Reminders
- Restroom Policy: As a reminder, students may use the restroom during transitions and breaks. Please encourage your child to use these opportunities as repeated requests during class discussions will result in a clip down.
- Uniforms: Boys are required to wear belts. Please check that your child is in full uniform each morning. Uniform infractions will be issued if students are not compliant.
- Make-Up Tests: Parents, if your child misses a test, please email me to schedule a make-up session for Make-Up Monday. Without an appointment, your child will receive an NI (Needs Improvement) on the missed test. Remember, big tests are given every Thursday and Friday.

In addition to the social aspect, we’re using this event as an opportunity to raise funds for our class. The funds collected will go towards field trip expenses, bus, and class parties. We kindly request your support in making this fundraiser a success.
