Fidgets/Spinners
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE
Some students are bringing in the newest fad, fidget devices, to school and have been using them in class. These are proving to be very distracting to the other students in class as well as the teachers so unless the student has a diagnosed learning disability and the requirement of a fidget is in their IPP or IEP, they should not be in school!
We are requesting that parents not allow their child/children to bring them to school. They can use them for homework! Thank you for your co-operation.
UNIFORM SHOP ORDER FORM
There will be a Uniform Shop Order Form going home with Elementary students. The order forms are due back to the Business Office by May 26th and orders will be ready for collection on June 9th. The form will be available on the MSA website and in the main office.
ELP APPLICATIONS FOR SEPTEMBER 2017-2018
