On Monday, Gr 7 students playing football failed to follow teacher instructions about ending the game.

As such, Gr 7 will not be playing football on Tuesday.

Gr 7 students can still use the field on Tuesday, but no football.

UPDATED!!!!

All students should leave campus at 3pm and NOT RETURN.

MS Students can not

• "hang out" or wait for friends on campus

• leave campus and return later in the afternoon

Exemptions:

• You are at a supervised afterschool activity

• Your parent/guardian is with you and is supervising you

Please organize an alternative plan off campus so you do not get into trouble.

Why are middle schoolers not allowed to order coffee (or decaf) drinks?

Your brain is currently going through a massive system upgrade, and coffee acts like glitchy software.

Regular Coffee (Caffeine)

• Steals Your Brainpower: Your brain does its heaviest learning, growing, and memory-saving while you sleep. Caffeine blocks deep sleep (even when drunk during the day), meaning you miss out on essential brain growth.

• Triggers Fake Stress: Caffeine tricks your body into thinking you are in a high-stress situation. This leads to sudden jitters, anxiety, and unpredictable mood crashes in class.

• Creates a Bad Loop: The more caffeine you drink, the less natural energy your brain produces. Eventually, you feel exhausted without it (can lead to addiction).

Decaf Coffee

• It Still Has Caffeine: Decaf isn't 100% caffeine-free. It still contains small amounts that can affect a growing system.

• The Sugar Trap: Decaf drinks are often loaded with sugary syrups and whipped cream. High sugar causes a quick spike in energy, followed by a huge crash that leaves you with severe "brain fog."

• Tricks Your Habits: Drinking decaf gets your brain used to relying on a drink for energy, instead of real power boosters like water, solid meals, and good sleep.

Field Football: You Slide, You Leave

We love seeing students on the football field, but safety must always come first. To keep the game fun and safe for everyone, we want to remind everyone: You slide, you leave.

How it works:

• The Action: If a teacher or supervisor sees what they believe is a slide tackle, your play is over for the day and you can't play the next day either.

• The Exit: Recess Red Card! No arguments and no discussion. If you are asked to leave, you must step off the field immediately (arguing could make the consequence bigger).

This isn't about getting you in trouble; it's about keeping the game moving and everyone safe (We take care of eachother).

When we make everyone feel welcome, our school becomes a kinder and more supportive place.

Feeling like you belong helps you feel more confident, ready to learn, and excited to be at school. One of the best ways to build that sense of belonging is by making friends in different groups. Each new friend can introduce you to new ideas, games, and experiences, which makes school more fun and interesting.

By reaching out and expanding your circle of friends, you not only help others feel included, but you also grow yourself by discovering new friendships and perspectives.
