Student Recognition

Tayler accepts her award from two members of the legion. She won first place for her writing project. Well done Tayler.

From the Office

A second report card will be sent home with your son/daughter tomorrow.  The reason for this is that the Labour Relations Board has ruled that teachers must produce marks from the time that they were in job action.  You probably noticed that your report card only contained marks from linear classes and 2nd semester classes.

For us at Parkland, that means semestered courses from first semester will receive a final mark.  While all of our core classes (besides French Immersion) are linear, our grade 8 and 9 electives are primarily semestered.  You will now see a final mark for those courses on the report card, as well as semestered French Immersion marks.

As well, any marks that did not contain all work from the beginning of the year will have needed to be adjusted.  If you see a mark in a linear class that is slightly different from the mark you received officially last week, this is the reason. 

Please do no hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.

DRESS CODE

We remind students that the use of cell phones in the school is prohibited.  Cell phones must be off within the school.  We appreciate parents encouraging their children to leave their cell phones at home as they can become a distraction to learning.  Cell phones confiscated at school for inappropriate use will be returned to the parents when they have time to pick it up at the office.  We appreciate parents’ support on this issue.

As we come into warmer weather, we would ask parents to help us at school by reinforcing with their children that school is a place of work and business, and that some casual attire may not be appropriate for school. 

All students are required to wear clothing that is appropriate to a work environment.

This includes:
* tops  - with sleeves
            - that cover the midriff
            - that cover the back
            - that cover cleavage
* bottoms - that extend to mid-thigh
                  - that are pulled up to cover entire buttocks
* clothing with no vulgarity or swearing, promoting of            drugs/alcohol/hatred/violence/sex
* shoes must be worn at all times
* hats, bandanas or other headgear are to be worn only on special dress-up/hat days

We ask that our students keep themselves modestly covered in a manner that is appropriate for a place of work.  Thank you parents for your support with this on-going challenge.
