  EVERYDAY HOMEWORK: Read for at least 20 minutes

  THANK YOU :)

  PE with Mme Levesque: Run Day will now be the first, clear, PE day we have each week (blk 1 on Tues/Weds/Fri). With no change room access and limited bathroom space, one of my goals is to ensure students are dry for the whole day. Therefore, students should bring a change of clothing to class. We have LOTS of storage space. Students can change in the washrooms two at a time.
