Career Day!

Hello Everyone!

The grade 8's had a great afternoon in Orangeville at the annual Dufferin Career Day. There were many exhibits for the kids to see and many informative speakers and guests that provided their professional knowledge to our grade 8 students.  The kids represented our school very well and came back with valuable information that will give each student an idea of possible career choices in the future.
Don't forget to sign the math tests that have gone home for you to see.... and return any IEP forms for those students with IEP's.
The kids have gym tomorrow and MUST have their gym clothes at school tomorrow.
Also - some at-home work the kids could be working on : practicing their multiplication drills and skills!!!!

Have a great night!
Miss Waddell

Congrats!

Congratulations to the boys and girls soccer teams!!! They played four AMAZING games in the rain, wind and muck!!!!  The kids - both guys and girls teams -  made it to the championship game and put up a valiant fight but lost in VERY close games!!!  Well done!!!! And thank you to all of the parents who came out to cheer us on! What a fabulous day!!!
This Tuesday afternoon, the grade 8 students are heading to the Orangeville fair grounds for a Career Day information session.  Permission forms went home last week, and need to be returned by Tuesday morning.
Halloween celebrations will take place next Monday - the kids are allowed to wear appropriate costumes, and will have a period for social activities - planned by student council.  Treats and snacks are welcome :)

A quick reminder that all IEP forms (for those students on IEP's)  need to be returned this week.

Have a wonderful Monday!!!

Miss Waddell

Short Week!

Just a quick reminder that IEP's went home (to those kids who have one) for parents to look over.  If there are any changes that need to be made - please let me know as soon as possible, and don't forget to return all required paperwork  :)
On Thursday, the intermediate soccer team heads to Centennial High School in Guelph for their soccer tournament.  The kids need to be at the school by 8:00 am and we head out by 8:15 - please be on time!!  And don't forget to come dressed for the weather - it's supposed to be cold and rainy.

Friday is a PA Day - the kids get a long weekend!

Have a great week everyone!!!

Miss Waddell

Friday!!!

It's FRIDAY :)

A quick reminder that tomorrow the kids have their math test.

The intermediate cross country run was this afternoon , and I would like to say congratulations to Mathew Hope, Bradley Cripps, and Katie Campbell for their great run today!

The intermediate soccer tournament is next Thursday from 8:15 ( be at school by 8) until 2 ( normal time home) at Centennial Sports Fields in Guelph.  Practices will be Monday and Wednesday next week.....

Gym clothes : The kids have gym on Day 4 and Day 5 - and they MUST have their gym clothes at school to change into.  It is important to fully participate in the phys-ed program and each student needs proper gym clothes to do so!

Good luck to the choir members who will be singing the national anthem at the Guelph Storm Game tomorrow night!!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend!

Although this week is a short one , it will still be a busy one!  There are quite a few things going on throughout the school and in our room!

Here are the details:

The kids have a history test with Mr. Primeau tomorrow during their history period.

There will be a math test on Friday - which covers all of our geometry unit from start to finish. We have already started reviewing in class for the test.  Our next unit will be Number Sense and Numeration.

Tomorrow we will have a celebration in honour of Clara Marguet - our french exchange student - who has been with us since the beginning of the school year. She is heading back home on Thursday and we wish her the best of luck!

IEP's : for those students who have IEP's - the draft copies of these reports will be sent home by Monday, October 17th.  Please review the IEP's and return to the school as soon as possible - with any changes that you would like to see.  Thank you!

Soccer practice is tonight after school, and band practice is Thursday night after school.

A reminder that the Erin P.S. choir will be singing the national anthem at the Guelph Storm game this Friday night at the Sleeman Centre.  Good luck to all of our singers!!!

Have a great night everyone,

Miss Waddell

Happy Thanksgiving!

Friday is House sports day!!!

From periods 3-6 the kids will be out playing sports and supporting their House!!!  Go Yellow Submarines!!!!!!!

Reminders :
Next week , the kids will have a history test and a math test. Review will be taking place in the classes before each test.

I hope everyone has a great time at the fair, and a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!

Quick note!

Hi everyone!

The school newletter is going home this evening.  Although this is a paper copy - Erin Public School is trying to be more environmentally responsible and "go online".  Please note that in this month's school newsletter, there is a letter to all parents/guardians that contains a tear-off that needs to be returned to their child's teacher. The letter serves the following purpose:

- it directs parents to the school website, http://www.ugdsb.on.ca/erinps/ so you can subscribe to an electronic notification that will advise you that the newsletter is ready online - and will reduce paper copies being sent home to each student.

Intermediate soccer practice will be tomorrow (Wednesday) night after school.  And , if most girls can attend, there will be practice on Thursday after school.

Intermediate band practice is Thursday after school.

The choir will be singing at the Guelph Storm game next Friday - October 14th...please speak to Mr. Snowball if you need extra tickets....

Also - there will be a History quiz next Wednesday - HOWEVER, Mr. Primeau is reviewing all material with the kids this week during their next history class.

I hope that takes care of everything :)

Miss Waddell

Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Here are a few reminders for the up-coming week :

The girls have their HPV shots Tuesday morning.
Intermediate soccer practice will be Wednesday (and possibly Thursday) after school... then final cuts will be made by next week.
Friday is "House Sports" day - from periods 3-6, the kids will be participating in our first House spirit day!  Come dressed in your House colours and prepare to play : road hockey, soccer, volleyball, basketball.... the list goes on!!!!  Oh, and don't forget the student/teacher soccer game to follow :)

Don't forget that this weekend is the Erin Fall Fair - and Thanksgiving!!!!  Turkey day!!!!!

Take Care,
Miss Waddell
