Good afternoon Bruce Families, please see below for some important information. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend after a hard-working, first full week of school!
Student Safety during drop-off and pick up: Important - We have noticed a few concerning close calls with students who have been dropped off across the street at the front of the school. Please refrain from using this area as the angle makes it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians crossing and not all drivers are following the decreased speed. We remind families to please use the bus loop or the west side of the school where there is less traffic and to remind students to carefully look prior to crossing the street.
Music Memo
There will be a meeting for all students interested in joining the Bruce Choir in the band room on Monday September 16. If you will be unable to attend the meeting, please let Mr. Kehler know.
There will be a meeting for all grade 7 and 8 band students interested in joining the Bruce Jazz band on Tuesday September 17 in the band room. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please let Mr. Kehler know.
Meal Deals
Breakfast - the breakfast program is up and running in the Foods room. It opens at 8:15 and while the weather is nice, access is from the outside door. We have seen several students enjoying cereal, toast and sometimes breakfast burritos. Please be sure to remind your student that this space is available to everyone who would like something to eat in the morning.
Canteen -the canteen is open daily for the first 5 minutes of lunch. Students wishing to purchase items should go directly there and then head to their lunch rooms to eat.
Pizza - Friday, September 20th will be our first Pizza Lunch of the year. Students will be provided with order form and are to turn them in with their money by Thursday at the latest.
Lunch program - a reminder that all Bruce students are permitted to stay for lunch at no cost as long as they are demonstrating respect for the lunch supervisors and the expectations for behaviour. Full time students are not permitted to leave the school at lunch; part time students who opt to leave school property should not return to school until 1:20 for the afternoon entry. If they arrive early, they should wait at the front of the school for the bell.
Terry Fox Run Volunteers: Mr. Weber would like to thank everyone who responded to the call for volunteers for the Terry Fox Run. We now have plenty of people to supervise.
