Courtyard outside of cafeteria closed today due to Tech Challenge set-up
The courtyard outside of cafeteria closed today due to Tech Challenge set-up. Please enjoy your lunch in another location for today.
Teachers please arrive 7-10 minutes early for MYP tech challenge
In order to have a smooth start to the MYP tech challenge please arrive to the Design Centre, 7-10 minutes early so you beat the crowd of students and your teacher leader can give any instructions necessary. Enjoy the afternoon.
MYP Tech Challenge-when and where?
Today is the MYP Tech Challenge after lunch!
To avoid the long hallway being filled with MYP students and blocking the passageway for teachers and PYP students, the MYP Students will be lining up in grade levels outside of the foyer in the courtyard (under the roof). Please start lining 5-10 minutes before the end of lunch. Leave your bags in your lockers.
There will be 5 teams per house per grade level. While waiting in line, please start organizing your teams. There may be less students because of swim meet and other activities. Each house can still have 5 teams to have most chances for success.
Here are the locations for each grade:
- Grade 6: Robotics Area (Ms. Weatherly)
- Grade 7: C154 / Drama Room (please go straight there) (Mr. Orteza)
- Grade 8: Back Courtyard area (enter via the cafeteria) (Ms. Fox)
- Grade 9: Hallway between gym and design centre (Mr. Messom)
- Grade 10: Workshop (Mr. Wiggins)
Enjoy you afternoon and represent your house well.

MYP/DP Book Week Assembly!
Breaking News: MYP/DP Book Week Assembly this Friday at 8am sharp! in the PAC
Our prestigious visiting author, Mr. Ed Vere, will be speaking with us on Friday morning…
Now listen….We went to great lengths to hand-pick this literary professional… just for you, arranged (and paid) for him to fly (literally) across the world…just for you, created an entire schedule to get the most out of his visit in your Arts blocks… just for you, coordinated with your block one teachers to allow this assembly to run until 9:00… just for you, brought in a book fair… just for you, took untold numbers of “shelfies,” wrote “spine poems,” and heard the story “Bananas!” at least two dozen times (just for you)…. The least you can do is be on-time come Friday morning, right?
See you then!
What if you are an ACAMIS swimmer? No worries! Ed Vere will stop the assembly at 8:40…just for you… and excuse the team. Please wait until he lets you go (don’t go by your phone, watch, or “spidey-senses.” Thanks.
