Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read the final version of the News and Views. It was a short week with much to celebrate in middle school. This time of year is also a time for us to say goodbye to students and faculty moving on.
We wish Mr. Harris all the best. In the past two years, he has contributed as a mentor and coach to many of our students/athletes. He will forever be a Screaming Eagle.
It was an emotional week for students who are moving on and those who are returning. Nevertheless, we pulled it together and made the best of it with grade-level breakfast and farewell speeches.
We welcomed the African Hope students participating in the Global Citizenship after-school activity to our Celebrations of Learning. It was a very special day for them as they had an opportunity to enjoy what our students do regularly. We hope to grow the program next year, and we’re looking forward to hearing what great ideas our students can share to improve it.
We had our recognition night ceremony on Monday night, and the theater was packed, celebrating the Class of 2027. Special thanks to Ms. Farida Khamis for organizing the parent committee, who did much of the heavy lifting from behind the scenes. I also thank all the grade-eight advisors for their hard work during the school year.
On Tuesday, we celebrated our students. We handed out the 5 Es award, the ATLs(Consistently award), and the student and teacher-nominated Core Values Awards. There is an anecdotal message shared to describe the recipients.
The Honor of the Eagle Award is given to one or two students who have lived up to our Core Values like no other. This year’s recipients are Asher Friesen and Katherine Jacobs.
I want to wish you all a restful and fun summer holiday.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal

Mandatory Orientation for Grade 9 students – Reminder!

This is a reminder about the upcoming Grade 9 orientation (for students only) on
Tuesday, August 15th from 12:30 pm-1:30 pm.
Students, please report to the CAC Theater for your Orientation on that day.
Lunch will be provided after the Orientation.
The course schedules will be handed out at the Orientation. The schedules will include the core classes for all 9th graders plus one of the electives that the student indicated on their course registration form that was submitted earlier this spring.
By now, your world language and math teachers should have confirmed the next level for your classes in those subjects. Please check with them if you have questions or need clarification.
If you are moving on to a new school next year, we wish you the very best and a smooth transition.
For the rest of you, we look forward to seeing the students at the Grade 9 Orientation in August!
