Over the past two days, our grade 6 students took part in presentations put on by WISE Kidnetics. They had the opportunity to build and compare series, and parallel circuits using Snap Circuits – an electronic, educational toy. In addition, they built a simple motor using a battery, an elastic, two safety pins, and magnets.

Hé ho!
We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the Parent Network for supporting our school-wide outing to the Festival du Voyageur last week. The students had a wonderful day. Your generous contribution to this outing was sincerely appreciated. We continued our festivities the following day with a Festival gym blast. Congratulations to room 206, the champions of our Voyageur games - hé ho!
Personal Electronic Devices
Students are reminded that if bringing personal electronic devices to school, these devices must stay in lockers between 8:50 - 3:45. If students are needing to contact home, they are asked to use the phone in the office. We continue to encourage students to leave valuable items at home.
Student-Led Conferences: A Celebration of Learning
Student-Led Conferences: A Celebration of Learning – Term 2
March 7th 2017 (4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.)
Student-led conferences will be held on the evening of Tuesday, March 7th. The conferences are a celebration of all the
hard work your child has accomplished.
We hope you will come out and share in your child’s progress.
Conferences will be held in your child’s various classroom
environments. Families are welcome to visit various
classrooms any time between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. This will be done in an open house format and
therefore parents will not be required to book a conference time. Please come when it best suits you. The process of our student-led conferences is
designed to paint a clear picture of your child’s learning to date. Students
have the responsibility of taking an active role in explaining and demonstrating
their learning and setting goals for improvement.
During these conferences, you will have the opportunity to
look through work samples and/or participate in some activities together with
your child. Throughout the evening, you
will move from one classroom/subject area to another at your leisure. Please
note that there will be other families in the classrooms at the same time. If at any point you feel a particular classroom
is too busy at the time of your arrival, please feel free to visit another
learning environment and return to any classroom at a later time during your
visit. Should you wish to discuss
something of a particularly sensitive nature, we invite you to schedule a
meeting with a particular teacher at a later date.
One on one appointments will be available for Mme Marcoux
(Guidance/Resource), and Mme Buckwold (Principal). Please call the school
office at (204) 837-1361 to book an appointment with the above mentioned staff
members.
It is very important for your child to be able to discuss
his/her progress at the conference and hear your praise and encouragement for
his/her accomplishments. Please make an
effort to attend. The staff at Ness
Middle School looks forward to seeing you there.
Canteen closed on Tursday, March 2nd
Please note that the canteen will be closed on Thursday, March 2nd. Students should ensure to bring their lunch to school.
