This is for the students & parents in grade 5 only!
The grade 5’s will be taking part in the Camp Homewood trip again this year in the Spring. The cost per student usually runs around $300 (the actual amount will be confirmed soon.) Our first fundraiser will be the annual coffee sale. The order forms went home today. They are due Nov. 5. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact the school or email me.
For Math homework, the students have a math reading sheet. Students are to read the numbers to the millions to their parents out loud. Just check off those they get right and mark those they have trouble with and then sign the bottom.
Many of the students were having trouble with some of the larger numbers.
Mrs. Lloyd sent out an update letter some very important information. It should have been in your child’s planner today. If you did not receive a copy, please click the link below:
List A: although, moment, goalie, poem, poetry, approach, ceremony, stowaway, trolley, oxygen, often, obstacle, envelope, proverb, antelope, molecule, obstinate
List B: fifteen, referee, eager, easily, ready, please, maybe, been, only, beautiful, ecology, universe, future, communicate, unusual, cute, cube, fuel (Those students with the modified List B are the words in italics.)
Challenge: conference, behaviour
Assignments Due & Test Friday!
I have received most of the conference time request sheets back, but there are a still few that I did not get. Any families that I have not heard from I have just assigned a time. I have placed the students’ initials in the time slots. If your time does not work, please look at the open time slots and email me or call the school the school to change.

To wrap up Fire Safety Week, the Port McNeill Volunteer Fire Department is hosting a Firehall Open House at 7:00 pm. Everyone welcome!
The most recent Book Orders are due Thursday, Oct.8.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday are Parent-Teacher Conferences. These are 15 minute conversations with parents to discuss their child’s work habits and behaviours.
The sign-up form should be coming home today. Please choose your #1,2,3 choices for times. I will try and accommodate your top choice as best I can. If you have multiple children at the school, I can also try to accommodate the other conference times.

October Conference Time Sheet – 2015
I have noted on some forms that if you are scheduled for an IEP meeting over the next couple weeks the topics covered will basically be the same, so if you only want to attend one meeting that is okay. If you would still like to have a separate Parent/Teacher Conference that is okay too, just sign up for a time on the sheet.
This is a reminder to parents that the All Candidates Meeting is tonight at the Gate House Theatre.
The students had the opportunity to join some NISS students today for the student edition of the All Candidates Meeting. The three main parties were present to talk about who they are and answer questions generated by students. Thank you to Mr. Doug Abbot for organizing the event. And thank you to the three candidates for taking the time to speak to the future voters of the north island (Rachel Blaney – NDP, Peter Schwarzoff – Liberals & Laura Smith – Conservatives).
