GENERAL:

ATTENTION – It has been brought to our attention that there is a homeless encampment around our school property.  The police have been notified as well as property services and there are steps being taken to have this encampment removed and cleaned up.  Unfortunately, there have been a number of used needles found.  Please if you find a used needle, do not touch it, but notify someone (your teacher, office, police, etc.) where it is, so it can be properly disposed of.  If you accidentally injure yourself with a used syringe:  Clean the wound with soap and water and go to the emergency room as soon as possible as these needles can spread infections that cause serious health conditions.

REPORT CARDS – For those students who are in transitions, or who are part time or who are on a study Block A, your report cards are in the main office and can be picked up there any time.

ATTENTION TOSH – You will notice ground work being done outside the cafeteria.  This area is out of bounds for all until complete.  Rugby players going to the upper field will need to go around the school.

ANY STUDENTS WHO WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CARPENTRY AND/OR ENVIRONMENT OR EARN COMMUNITY SERVICE BURSARY HOURS – If you didn’t make the construction on Saturday, join any Tuesday after school to help out in building TOSH’s new solar broadcasting canteen and outdoor cafeteria.  For more information, see Ms. Sullivan or Mr. MacKinnon.
