Report Card Info, Gr 8 Graduation Certificate Pick up and Borrowed Chromebook Update

Posted June 11, 2020

Dear SIB families,

We hope this email finds you all well. There are a few important announcements. All information is also available in full at https://www.ugdsb.ca/sibps/

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to the school last week to pick up their child’s belongings. It was great to see so many people after such a long time apart! If you were unable to attend, all bagged items will be distributed to students when they return to the school in September.

Report cards will be mailed out to all students in kindergarten to grade 7 on June 23rd. If you require more than one copy (ie. parents live in separate homes) please notify your child’s teacher prior to the 23rd.

Grade 8 students and their parents are invited to come to the school on Tuesday, June 23rd between 9am and 5pm to pick up their report card, graduation certificate and a special token to honour their graduation from SIB!

Thank you to all of our families who have helped support student distance learning during our closure period. We hope the use of the borrowed Chromebook has been helpful. We have had many requests from families wondering if they can keep the Chromebook over the summer to continue to support learning and help children stay engaged in their learning. The answer is yes! Feel free to keep the Chromebook you have for return to our school in September. For those moving to a new Upper Grand DSB school you may continue to use the same device you currently have and return to our school in the fall. If you choose to keep the Chromebook over the summer please remember to fully shut it down regularly to ensure it access updates over the summer when it is turned back on.

For those students moving to a new school board for the fall and for families who would prefer to return their Chromebooks over the summer please drop off at our school on Tuesday June 23rd from 9am to 5pm.

Please note: The last official day of school for this year is Friday June 26th.

The Heart and Stroke Virtual Jump is on June 19th! Help us reach our goal of having 100,000 children being active! SIB is signed up and families if you are interested in participating please go to https://secure-support.heartandstroke.ca/site/SPageServer/?pagename=jump_home and register under SIB. Happy Jumping!

SIB will continue to communicate with families step by step with information as we move through to the end of the school year.

Stay a safe distance and stay positive!
