Mike Wagner Memorial Account @ Sports 44

Any student who needs financial assistance with sporting equipment or clothing, please consider shopping at Sports 44. There is a Mike Wagner Memorial account set up, intended to cover the cost of whatever is needed (Mr. Wagner was a huge sports fan and this would make him happy). Please ask for Chris, the owner, and he will make sure you are taken care of. And special thanks to many people who have donated items to the store in care of the memorial.

Student Placement

We are starting to plan for the 2019-2020 school year. The teachers use their professional judgment to create balanced classes,

considering the following factors when making class lists:

An even distribution of students according to ability;

A fair balance of boys and girls in a classroom;

A fair distribution of students who demand more care and attention from teacher; and the mixture of students’ personalities and best “fit” as a class.

Parents may submit written information for staff to consider for student placement to Mr Hubble. Specific requests for teachers are not accepted.
