“Supporting Speech and Language Development at  Home”

 

Presented by: Speech-Language Pathologists, Educational Support Services, St. James-Assiniboia School Division

 

Students who receive speech and language support at school benefit from practice at home.  The purpose of this presentation is to provide parents with simple, quick and easy activities that can be done as a part of the daily routine.  We will provide suggestions for helping your child practice speech sounds and language skills at home.

Twenty Dollars and a pile of food have been collected for the opportunity to hit a golf ball at our fearless leader, Mr. Lipinski.

Sports Scholarships- Update

As the snow is melting away, many of us are thinking ahead to summer and all that lies ahead. Summer time is the perfect time for students to work on their skills through various athletic camps. At Bruce, we have scholarships available to help pay for a portion of the camp for students in grade 6-7. If funds are available, grade 8 students will be considered for scholarships as well. All parents and students need to do is contact Mrs. Sproll to apply for a scholarship. Proof of camp registration is required in order to qualify. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Sproll at 204-888-1990 or ksproll@sjsd.net.

On March 16^th 2016, Bruce Middle School will be hosting a Term 2, Pastries & Portfolios Evening!

For parents that have participated in one of our past portfolio evenings, term 2 portfolios may look a bit different from what you have seen before.  Please join us for our **New and Improved**version of the Bruce portfolio.  The focus of our term 2 portfolios is to provide each child with an opportunity to highlight and tell their story about their life at Bruce Middle School.  We have encouraged students to be creative, descriptive and authentic in telling their story.  Some ideas that students will be sharing may include: favourite friends, extra-curricular activities, volunteer work, books they like to read, academic areas they are proud of, academic areas they need to improve on, things they are looking forward to, interests, etc. 

Your child will take the time to share their story with you during one of the evening sessions. There will also be opportunities for students to perform some live tasks, and of course they will be serving pastries/cookies for you to enjoy!

Portfolio sharing will be done in the place of traditional parent-teacher interviews so that students can place a greater emphasis on their learning and the many amazing school experiences that Bruce Middle School offers to them. Teachers will also be available in the gym during this time to speak with you about your child's learning.

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, we will have meeting rooms available upon request.

Please indicate which session you will be attending.  Registration is available on our blog or visit the sites indicated below.  In the event that you do not have access to internet, please feel free to contact Luann at Bruce Middle School 204-888-1990 to register.  Please register on or before March 15^th 2016.
