SURPRISE THEME DAY! As the first of many theme days before the winter break, we are excited to announce our PYJAMA DAY tomorrow (Friday, November 13th)! Our distance learning classes are encouraged to attend their classes in their pyjamas too!... Dress cozy and finish of the week in style!

As we move into a "red zone", Thursday, November 12 will be the last day for practices after school (basketball, swimming and hockey) until further notice. The gym and weight room will also have to be closed at lunch hour until Mr. Fisk creates a new schedule for your respective closed academic bubble.

Students trying out for Basketball and swimming must get two forms (Covid-19 and Student Athlete information) signed by their parents if they want to try-out beginning Monday, October 19. See Mr. Fisk at lunch hour in the gym Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Practices begin Monday, October 19 after school with late buses!

NEWS ALERT!!! Although we were not able to have a soccer season this fall, the Tillotson Foundation has graciously donated $5000 towards our new soccer uniforms. The Piper Classic as always will pay for the other half of the uniforms! A special thank you to the Tillotson Foundation for continuously supporting Piper Athletics.

Due to our current situation, we weren't able to hold our annual Terry Fox run but still wanted to show our solidarity with cancer research. We are proud to partner with Leucan Estrie and offer their virtual Halloween money boxes with all proceeds being directed towards the ongoing fight against cancer. We know the pandemic hasn't been easy on our Galt community but if you feel inclined, we invite you to use the personalized link below for any and all contributions. http:/.../www.webleucan.com/Alexander_Galt On top of the proceeds all going towards cancer research, prizes are being drawn for school materials & sports equipment amongst participating schools! $4,000 in participation prizes : 8 prizes of $500 for school materials and sports equipment thanks to the generosity of Desjardins. $1,000 : 1 prize for school material and sports equipment will be awarded to the winning school following a draw among all the participating schools that have raised a minimum of $500. Thank you in advance for all your contributions and please stay safe and healthy!

See Mr. Fisk during your Phys. ed classes to sign up for the Basketball, Swimming and Senior Boys rugby teams. This will be your second in school bubble. No games against other schools until after Christmas. First try-outs begin October 19 with late buses. Players trying out must get Covid-19 forms from Mr. Fisk that MUST be signed by your parents before October 19 or they will not be allowed to participate. Gym at Lunch Hour:... Students not on the basketball, hockey, swimming or senior boys rugby team can sign up with Mr. Fisk during their Phys. ed classes if they want to use the gym at lunch hour. This will be your second in school bubble (per level). Once everyone is signed up Mr. Fisk will make a schedule for your group to use the gym. The gym will be open at lunch hour starting October 26 according to the schedule that will be posted. See more

We ask for the support of all families in applying the following new guidelines. In the event your child has a runny nose, public health is recommending they remain at home for a 24 hour period to be observed. Following this, parents must consult the self evaluation tool available here to determine the next steps: https://www.quebec.ca//covid-19-symptom-self-assessment-t/ #wereallinthistogether

A quick aerial tour of our campus. We are fortunate to have so much space to offer our students espcially in this current context :) The entire campus will certainly receive good use this year as we keep our distances. #piperpride #beginnerdrone #campuslove
