Well, we all made it through the first day of the new school year. We spent some class time going over expectations and handing out permission forms and letters to go home. Everyone was assigned a locker and given an agenda and a new timetable.
We attended an assembly this morning with Mr. M., our Principal and Ms. B., our Vice-Principal. The main focus of the assembly was the new balanced school day schedule, which will be an adjustment for us all of us this year. This year we will have two 45 minute nutrition breaks. Students who have signed permission will be allowed to go off property during the second nutrition break only at 12:50 pm. Classes are in two period blocks with the breaks after period 2 and period 4, so students have a chance to have regular snacks and exercise. Ms. B. reminded students not to eat all of their snacks/lunch during the first break, because 3:15pm is a long time to last without food. Mr. O. will still be selling nutritious snacks during both breaks, with proceeds going to our school library and the Grade 7 Quebec City trip.
