Grade Seven Tours of SDSS

In the past SDSS has had grade 7 tours during mid-May. They now have a new program for our incoming grade 8 students. They will take part in an Orientation Day on August 31 before grade 8 starts. At that time they will receive their grade 8 schedule and take a tour of the school while stopping at each of their classes. 

All grade 7's will visit SDSS on June 7th at 1:30 for the Grade 7 Spirit Day.

Grade Seven Math Challenge Test

We have two dates for the Math 8 Challenge Placement Exam at SDSS in June. The dates are June 7th at 3:00 and June 9th at 3:15.

On June 7th, the grade 7's will be at SDSS for the Grade 7 Spirit Day from 1:30 - 2:30. The students who have signed up for Math 8 Challenge will stay at SDSS, move to the Library to write the exam and then be picked up or walk home from SDSS. If any students cannot stay for this sitting, we offer another one on June 9th at 3:15. 

Parents, please e-mail Val Hayes, the SDSS Grade 8 Counsellor at vhayes@deltasd.bc.ca to let her know when your student will write the exam.

Grad Photo Day tomorrow

A reminder that tomorrow MJM Photographers will be back to take pictures of the Grade 7 students.  They should wear regular uniform.

TRACK MEET Wed May 11 Students at the school by 8:30:  Students are coming home with a form that needs to be signed if you or another adult (not older sibling) plans to take your child from SDSS.  If we do not receive signed permission, students will walk back to the school and be dismissed from there.  If you live between SDSS and Pebble Hill, you may give written permission allowing your child to be dismissed en route to Pebble Hill.

Our Track rain-out day is Fri May 13.

May the Fourth Be with You!

Tomorrow is  May the Fourth Be with You Spirit Day.  Students may wear costumes or clothing that is related to Star Wars, Star Trek, fantasy science fiction or outer space, otherwise it's a uniform day.

This afternoon we enjoyed showing our social responsibility by participating in the Shoreline Clean-up as well as helping with our Kindergarten and Division 4 buddies. 

Wed. May 11 is our Regional Track meet.  Pebble Hill teachers are responsible for organizing the track meet this year and the parents will run the Concession Stand.  This is a great money making opportunity for our school, so if you have any time at all, we'd appreciate volunteers to help out.  A notice was sent home yesterday with details. 

Grade 7s have their Egypt project due May 19.  They will have two more classes this week to work on the items and then must complete the work at home. They are handing in work as they are completing it, but will also hand in the completed project by May 19.
