Final Exams are this week!
To all Grade 8 and 9 French Students:
Your final exam for French has been moved to either Thursday (the 16th) or Friday (the 17th) of this week. This move was requested so that Gr 8 and 9 students would not have 5 exams in two days next week.
I will be in my room Tuesday and Wednesday before school and at lunch to help you study, and after school Tuesday til 4 and Wednesday til 3:30 (Staff meeting). Come and see me if you need help with anything!
Be sure you have handed in all assignments- check the back wall of the classroom for posted marks so far.
TEXT BOOKS- We are still missing several, and $100 each to replace, we MUST get them back. Check your room, check your locker, under the bed- everywhere!!
Grade 8 Band: Please remember all your music to hand in on Wednesday. Also please thoroughly clean borrowed instruments and return them Wednesday.
Grade 8 and 9 students only attend classes which are giving exams next Monday, June 20th and Tuesday, June 21st.
Study and be ready! Bonne Chance!
