Good afternoon Vincent Massey community,
We've enjoyed a first full week of our school year, with regular class routines in place. We are continuing to make some minor adjustments to our option classes, in order to balance class sizes.
As I'm walking around the building, getting to know students, I'm constantly reminded that the teachers are the heart of this school. Whether it's teaching lessons, helping new students find their way, or running sports team tryouts, nothing is possible without their hard work and dedication. For those of you who've had children at Massey for a long time, some of these teachers will be very familiar faces but I wanted to take a moment to introduce a some new ones:
- Ms. Amy Campbell is teaching Grade 7 and 9 Humanities. She was previously at GP Vanier Junior High School and brings a wealth of experience in literacy learning from a wide range of grade levels.
- Ms. Susan Ness is returning to Vincent Massey from Arbour Lake School. She is teaching Grade 8 Science, Math and Phys-Ed and we're delighted to welcome her enthusiasm and experience back to Vincent Massey.
- Mr. Nick Currie is teaching Grade 8 Humanities and Phys-Ed. He joins us from Crescent Heights High School and we're excited that he will be bringing his basketball coaching experience from high school to our teams here.
- Mr. Kaj Morawski is our new band teacher and will also be teaching Grade 7 Math and Science. Mr. Morawski's passion for the music has been evident from the moment he stepped in the door and I'm looking forward to the continued growth and rejuvenation of our bands.
I would like to welcome these new teachers and extend a huge thank you to all Vincent Massey teachers for their dedication every day. Teachers and their contact information are listed on our website under About Us --> Our Staff. Your child's classroom teacher should be the first point of contact for any concerns or questions regarding their learning.
Sincerely,
David Pugh
Principal
