All students have now been set up with a typing.com account to practise their typing skills. This is not a mandatory task, however, typing is such a widely used life skill that regular practice is highly recommended.
The site allows students to progress through courses and tracks progress.
This is a great opportunity for students to set goals for themselves and demonstrate initiative.

Adventure Works
Exciting times!!! Monday and Tuesday all grade 7 students will be taking part in community building and leadership activities (including high ropes) at Adventure Works in the Dundas Valley. Permission forms went home last week. Thank you to all of those who have already returned the forms and payment.

If for whatever reason, a student cannot participate as part of a field trip, please contact homeroom teachers, one of the Special Education Resource Teachers, or school administrators because there will be a way we can make it happen as we want all students to benefit from the experience.
School Cash Online: All Halton schools are moving towards being cashless. If you have not set up a cashless account, please do so at your earliest convenience. If you have already registered, thank you!

Terry Fox Run / Walk
Looks like our rain date for the Terry Fox event at Pineland should be perfect. Tomorrow's forecast is sunny and not too hot.
Please remember appropriate clothing, footwear, water, sunscreen, etc. for spending the entire afternoon outside.
I always seem to run with the spirit of Terry within me, but even more so at Pineland where the event is such an integral and meaningful aspect of Pineland tradition.
Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for making the event run so smoothly!
See you on the course!
