Memo for week September 28th-Oct 2nd, 2009

Messages for the week Sept. 28th – October 2nd

- George Street Middle School’s Home and School Association will be holding their first meeting on Wednesday Evening from 6:30 to 7:30 pm in the school’s boardroom.

In the past the H&S has raised money that has funded a number of initiatives in the school. Some examples are: FM sound systems in a number of classrooms that amplifies the teacher’s voice, our welcome display screen, 10 laptops for the library which has greatly improved our computer lab and many other projects.

Along with providing the school with many extras that have helped improve student learning, the monthly H&S meetings provide parents with an opportunity to speak directly with one of the school’s vice-principals about the goings on at the school. Many parents have noted that this regular contact makes them feel more connected to the school community.

- Thursday October 1st is the start of D 18’s SAFE SCHOOLS week. As part of that initiative we plan to have fire drills, bus and school evacuation exercises, and lockdown practices. Further, we want to alert our school community Threat Assessment policy found on page 15 in the Student Agenda . We ask parents to read, sign and have their child hand it to the homeroom teacher.

- On Friday Oct 2nd, a new edition of our monthly newsletter – Meet Us In The Middle- will be posted on our website http://georgest.nbed.nb.ca . Our newsletter is loaded with samples of student work and information about the school.

- We did postponed our Terry Fox walk last Friday but we plan to reschedule it for this upcoming Friday. We ask each child to bring $1.00 to participate in the walk.

Have a great week!
