Grade 8 Orientation Morning, Thursday, August 30th from10:00-11:30 a.m.

Although students are just finishing off their summer break on this date, we are asking our incoming grade 8 students to attend this event.

We have planned this morning event specially with our new grade 8 students in mind. We start the morning with an assembly in the main gymnasium. Following the assembly we will meet in homeroom groups where students will be assigned lockers, have their student photo taken, pay student fees, purchase locks (if required) and participate in orientation activities to help familiarize them with the school.

Students will be given their timetable toward the end of the morning and are welcome and encouraged to spend some time finding their classrooms once we are done.  We will finish up the morning with a hot dog barbeque at 11:30 a.m.

Things to consider:
Plan to arrive around 9:45 a.m. and make your way to our main gym
Bring a cheque (payable to MRSS) or cash for student fees: - $28 single or $50 two or more students. - Locks are an additional $5 each (you will need two locks)
Dress comfortably but appropriately for school
Make transportation arrangements in advance

A little information about student photos on this day:
We will be taking student photos on this day and will send home a photo order envelope with students after they have had their photo take. Students need to bring it back the first week of school if they wish to order their photo. Should your student miss this photo opportunity, they will be able to have their photo taken on our main photo day in September.

Grade 8 Timetables

Timetables will be given to students at the orientation morning (as described above). All students will receive their timetables on the first day of school, Tuesday, September 4th.

School Supplies

At MRSS we do not put out a list of school supplies for students. The essentials such as a binder filled with lined paper, subject dividers, pencils, pens, a ruler, highlighters, pencil crayons and a scientific calculator are the staples of school life and can be reused from previous years or purchased new - it's up to you!
