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.

On March 16th 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 15th 2016.
