Parkdale Public School Secondary Information Night

Secondary School Parent Information Nights

Dear Parents of Students in Grade Eight,

The selection of a Secondary School for your child is extremely important and can be somewhat confusing. By the end of November all Grade 8 students will be bringing home a brochure entitled “Choices for Nine”. This brochure provides you with an overview of all the programs offered in Secondary Schools in the Toronto District School Board. To ensure clear understanding of the expectations and procedure for entry into Secondary School, we are inviting you and your child to an information meeting.

Where: Parkdale Public School
78 Seaforth Ave; 416-393-1280
When: Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 6:45 p.m.

To help you in selecting a Secondary School with your child, we have invited representatives from our local South West 2 Secondary Schools to speak with you in a storefront forum.

Fern Running Club

Happy Monday Fern Falcons!  And Happy Earth Day.  We will have a running club, open to students of all ages, every Friday morning, from 8:30-9:00am, around the track.  Kindergarten students must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children in other grades are welcome to drop in and join us, and then will be dismissed when regular yard duty begins at 9:00am.  This is a club, and not a team, there will be no tryouts, there will be no meet/competition. We will be running for ourselves and promoting movement, the joy of running, and healthy habits.  Feel free to join us. Our first running club date will be Friday, May 3rd.  Cheers,  Mrs. Heller and Madame Miya
