Two week until Christmas break! Its going to be coming fast. By Christmas break you should be done about 30 to 35% in each of your courses. There are a number of things to look forward to including our Secret Santa. The sign-up sheet will be going around this week. Secret Santa will happen on the last day before Christmas Break on Dec. 22nd.
There is also wreath making. If you are interested in making a wreath this week talk to Nikki and she will be organizing that. Wreaths making can start at 2:15 daily unless you have an elective. I’m sure there will be other Christmas craft projects as well.
Clam/Cockle digging will be happening next week. We are going to be sending out a signup sheet. As we have discussed earlier, Clam/Cockle digging is done when the tides are the best. Our date will be Tuesday, Dec. 19th next week. We will be meeting at PCS at around 5pm. Low tide is @ 20:25 (8:25pm) and we need to be there before low tide:

Cell phone usage has become a problem again. Students are not using the pouches or lieing about having their phones. Well up to this point the staff has been doing their best to work with students the staff has been met with rude behaviour and obfuscation. Thus the staff has agreed to implement the following rules:
This weeks Cell Phone Tokens for positive cell phone usage:
- David Swanson
- Rubbyn Steppler
- Zack Hill
- Cordel Ryan
- Kailee Shanoss
- Sheridan Shanoss
- Patience Good
- Justin Good
- Sofia McKay
- Zoey Hill-Harris
- Elijah Clayton
- Kyle Lawson
- Abigale Angus
- Eliza Hyaimz
- Christina McKay
- Daniel Paul
- Tawni Reece
- Kennedi Sampson
- Taylor Wilson
Technology Usage: The teachers and I have come up with a better outlined and more specific technology usage policy. It has come to our attention that students have been primarily utilizing YouTube in order to watch it rather than for music. We do understand that at this point Spotify is not a viable alternative but we are looking into ways to make this available for students to listen to music. This would also help with our excessive bandwidth usage.
As such we are instituting two more structures around Technology usage:
- You will be given three warnings if you are using technology inappropriately which includes watching clearly watching YouTube rather than using it as a tool for listing to music and focusing. On the fourth time you will have your technology rights suspended for the day and be given off-line work. This technology suspension will communicated to all staff.
- In order to reward positive behaviour and use of technology there will also be a “Technology and Behviour Token” given out to select students at the beginning of each week. Much like the Cell Phone token, you will be able to use this during the last week of December in order to submit for a draw on a prize which will be around a $75 value.
