Laptop Collection on Monday
Dear MS parents,
This is a reminder for our Laptop Collection on Monday, June 8th during the last period of the day. During the L2L class students will hand in their laptop form (2nd page only) signed by a parent, laptop with protective case, power adapter and cord.
If there are any missing parts, or damage to the laptop or accessories goes beyond normal wear or impedes the use of the laptop, makes it impossible to restore, or becomes dangerous for others to use, then students will have to pay for a replacement. All the details required for backing up and what to do are in the following document – https://goo.gl/YVxjXT

Repeat Announcement: Invitation for parents of our 8th graders: Gr. 8 Moving On Ceremony
Dear Parent(s) of Grade 8 Students:
Please join us in the Chevron Theatre on Tuesday, June 9th at 08:00am to commemorate your student’s move from middle school to high school (Arrive early, we will begin on time). It is a significant step in their lives, and we would love to celebrate this moment together with you through a student-led ceremony lasting approximately one hour and thirty minutes. It will be followed by a reception in the MPB until approximately 10:30am. This is an important day for your child and your family. Please plan to attend the entire morning’s festivities.
Since this is a special celebration, we expect students to dress appropriately. Boys should wear dress pants, a dress shirt, a tie, and dress shoes. Suits and sport coats are not necessary. Girls should wear a dress, or blouse with a skirt, and dress shoes (with heels that are not too high as they need to climb up and down the stairs to the stage). Hems are not to be more than 8 cm above the knee. Dresses with sleeves are preferred. Jeans, shorts, sleeveless shirts, tuxedos, or formal dresses are not appropriate.
After the reception the students will continue their celebration with a BBQ in our cafeteria, then move to our new pool from 11:45am to 1:45pm. Since students already have permission to swim in PE classes, only parents that provide documentation to have their student NOT swim is required. Swimming is an option for all students, as we will also have the Gymnasium and other open spaces in the new complex for them to hang out and spend their last day together. They should have a change of clothes for after the reception that they can wear over their swimwear.
NOTE: Students must have swimwear that meets the ISB P.E. requirements (no bikinis) and should bring a towel. We will dismiss students from the pool area at the end of the school day. Hats, sunglasses, and sun block are suggested. The pool does have shaded areas, as well as the indoor gymnasium for students wanting to stay out of direct sun.
Please put this important date on your calendar. All family members are invited to attend the ceremony and reception for the students.
If you have any questions, please contact us at the school. We look forward to celebrating your child with you on this special day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Roger Everett
Grade 8 Team Rep
