PEDICULOSIS

Each year the problem of head lice seems to surface in most schools.  If this occurs, your cooperation is asked for the following:

·         Check your child’s hair on a regular basis.  A favourite location is just above and behind the ears.

·         Contact the school if you have discovered an infestation in your child so that we can take action to prevent its spread.

You will be notified through a class newsletter if a case of pediculosis arises in your child’s class.

 

BRIGDEN “B” AWARD POINTS SYSTEM

To earn a Brigden “B” a student must earn 100 points while in Gr. 7 and 8 or 50 points if the student is new to the school in Grade 8.  If a student repeats a year, he/she will lose all points accumulated for that year.  The Brigden B is a very prestigious award, which is presented at the Grade 8 graduation ceremonies.
