Good afternoon TMC Parents/Guardians,

First, a big thank you to all the families that came to the open house/celebration of learning yesterday. It was great to see such a strong turnout. Our incoming grade 6 students visited the school in the morning, and we look forward to welcoming those students in the fall. This week we conducted a fire drill and a lock down drill; the students did a fantastic job in both areas. In addition, teachers spoke with their classes regarding the drinks that students are allowed to bring to their class, particularly after lunch and with the weather getting nicer more of our grade 7-9 students go off campus and purchase beverages, such as Slurpee’s or Iced Coffees. Although there is no official school rule regarding drinks, each teacher will have their own classroom rule. If the teachers have indicated certain drinks are not allowed in the classroom students need to finish it before they bring it into the school, they cannot store the drink in their locker. When the drink is stored in the locker, many times it spills and creates a bigger mess. If students bring a drink into the school that is not allowed, they will be asked by their teacher to dump it down the sink. The other concern that teachers have brought forward is the high consumption of energy drinks at lunch, they have noticed that students that have these drinks at lunch are more likely to be dysregulated during the afternoon. I would suggest having a conversation with your student about what they are choosing to drink at lunch. Moving forward, if we determine that the drinks students are bringing into the school are creating a mess or are a distraction to the learning environment a more official rule could be implemented.

Have a great weekend
