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.

Portfolio Cafe - November 19th

On Tuesday November 19th, Bruce Middle School will be hosting it's first Portfolio Cafe! The idea is that you can come in to our gym which will be set up as a cafe to enjoy a drink and some light snack while your child leads you through a portfolio collection of their learning. Teachers will be available in the gym to speak with you about your child's learning.

We realize there may be some cases where parents will still need to meet with teachers if there are issues or concerns that need to be discussed in an alternate setting. Please book an interview only if necessary.

We will be following the schedule as outlined below:

4:00 - 5:00 - Teachers will be available in the gym during portfolio time unless booked for an interview.

5:00 - 6:30 - All teachers will be available in the gym to meet with parents as they review student portfolios.

6:30 - 8:00 - Teachers will be available in the gym during portfolio time unless booked for an interview.


We hope that you will find this casual format both inviting and informative, as your child leads you through examples of their learning.

Should there be a reason that you need a private face-to-face conversation with any teacher, you are still able to schedule a meeting in 10-minute time slots. Please book private appointments only if there is a concern that needs to be discussed privately

The original letter sent home along with instructions for booking appointments can be found here.
