HEALTH

For English and Science homework - Go to the Module Vanier website and click on ENGLISH HOMEWORK.

MATHS - ***please see 8B homework page***

Many students are not completing their Math homework. It is so important to practice at home what we have covered in class in order to master new concepts.

PHYS. ED./DRAMA/ART

Théâtre des lecteurs classique - 3 choix.

Phys. Ed. - every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday - shorts, tee-shirt, running shoes - always period 4 (11:05 - 11:55).

Fitness - Do a few push ups, crunches, ankle raises, etc. at night. Get ready for the 12 minute run!

MISCELLANEOUS

Getting organized - A quick reference guide on how students can send themselves documents that they might want to work on at home and a school:

Step 1: Go to http://www.limestone.on.ca/

Step 2: Click on Portal Login (5th item on the left side menu)

Step 3: Click on the Student Portal button (green)

Step 4: Enter the same User ID and Password as when they login onto the computers at school.

Step 5: Click on My Mailbox.

Step 6. Create a new message.

Step 7. Click the Attach button to attach a saved file (Browse to find it)

Step 8: Send it to yourself.

Now everyone should be able to retrieve their work files from school or home. Students need to remember that First Class is a school too, not a chat room or MSN. If they are caught sending emails that are not schoolwork related they might lose their computer privileges.
