Dear Vincent Massey families, 

 

This past week has flown by with a variety of activities including the ongoing basketball season, our first wrestling practices, preparations for band camp, and play auditions. Boardgame club is also back (not to be confused with Dungeons and Dragons!) and Vincent Massey TV will be meeting soon to recruit reporters. 

 

Grade 9 students with an interest in business can connect with Ms. Ruttle regarding the Junior Achievement Canada Company Program. While this is an after-hours, non-school based program, she will facilitate registration and support interested students. 


Please note that there is no school for students on Monday. This day is a professional learning day for teachers, the timing of which is driven by the provincial referendum (because many schools are used as polling stations.) Teachers will primarily be working on literacy supports and assessment. 


For any students who are unable to make pictures retakes this Thursday, please see this attachment Fall Studio Retake Flyer EN 1 (1)

Make sure you choose Studio Calgary from the Book Session drop down menu.
