Your News... In Real-Time!

At Bruce Middle School we've decided to go paperless with our newsletter.

There are two advantages to this:

- The saving of paper is a savings in costs and more importantly another step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

- By offering news in this format, we can now provide our community with real-time news as it happens, instead of waiting until the end of the month to send out information.

Bruce Bearcat Clothing


Bruce Bearcat Clothing

We are happy to announce that once again Bruce Middle School will be offering Bruce clothing to our students and staff. These items will be used for phys.ed classes as well as options for students to wear during our many extra-curricular activities such as volleyball, basketball, badminton, rugby, track etc. We are offering a new and exciting way to order your child’s clothing this year. If you are choosing to order clothes you can now go online at http://bruce2016.itemorder.com and order directly from Homerun Sports. Delivery will still be to Bruce and hopefully we will receive these items by mid-October. You will be able to size your child at school to ensure you are ordering the correct items. If you prefer to order at the school with a cheque that is also an option as well. This year everyone will have the choice of Dri-fit or cotton shirts in both long and short sleeve options. All short and long sleeve shirts will have your child’s last name on the back. Sweaters are also available however no last names can be put on the back.  There are two colour options this year, black and grey. We will be taking orders until September 23rd. If you are interested in purchasing Bruce clothing there will be a table set up during triads, once triads are over you can order clothing from Mrs. Goetz. Please check out our online store to see all the items available this year!

Bruce Band Parents and Students,

Bruce Band Parents and Students,




Welcome back to school! I really hope you've enjoyed time with your family and friends over the summer. Now that the school year is upon us, I'm so excited to begin creating new music together with you!




      I have been busy preparing the materials and resources you will be using in band class to help you learn. Fees for method books, band shirts and instrument rentals should be taken care of when you come for triad conferences. Please come to the band room to pay (cheque or cash) for any item(s) that you need:


      Gr. 6 students - method book ($12), uniform shirt ($12), and instrument ($120, if you've made arrangements to rent from the school)


      Gr. 7 students - method book ($12) and instrument ($120, if you've made arrangements to rent from the school)


      Gr. 8 students - instrument ($120, if renting from the school)


      Grade 7 & 8 students should still have their music shirts from last year. If your shirt is lost, please purchase another. Grade 8 students will use their method books from last year which they should still have. If your book is lost, another will need to be purchased.


      Please let me know if you have any questions.


      Looking forward to seeing you Tuesday or Wednesday at triad conferences!




              Kind regards,



                Mrs. Tara Johnson, Band Director
