A wee reminder that students who are wearing a hat must have a green wrist band. These can be bought from the office. Just an FYI, hoods do not count as a hat.
Also unless you are going to, or coming back from a class in the HS, students are not permitted past the IC. The HS teachers do notice and report it to the MS & HS office.
The Middle School are partnering with Ele’s Place, to bring you an 8-week grief support group. This group will be offered during the school day, once a week for 8 weeks, here at school. It is designed to help students who have experienced the death of someone significant to them and is not therapy or counseling but a way to connect with other students who are grieving and support each other. Groups are facilitated by an Ele’s Place staff member and Mr. Stedman, who is available to answer any question you might have. After announcements take a minute to complete the survey which has been sent to you in your school email."
