Sports Sign Ups
CISSA & ACAMIS Track & Field and SCISAC Basketball Sign ups on Veracross this week. Practices start next week. If you would like to sign up but have clashes, please speak to Mr Clarke to see if we can work out a schedule for you. Grade 7 & 8 have the option of doing CISSA or ACAMIS Track & Field (coaches may allocate you later based on your level). ACAMIS Track & Field and SCISAC Basketball events have a direct clash so you cannot do both.
Assembly Tomorrow!
Hello MYP/DP Students,
Remember to report to the PAC by 8am Friday morning for another action-packed assembly!
Will there be a lovely video going while you walk in? Yes. Will there be epic, but extremely brief awards speeches? Yes. Will there be a few classic pictures of your teachers as teenagers? Yes. Will Dr. Saavedra accost Mr. Fishel again? Maybe?!
See you there by 8:00am tomorrow!
