Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our  class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences.  Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please let me know what you think :)  

I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents.  In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.

1.  Adding to your bank account
2.  To the student who just got an answer wrong in class
3.  To accomplish, you must first become
4.  School improves your passions
5.  The way school improves your passions
6.  Are you committed to your success?  Prove it, and you'll be glad you did!
7.  Why growth is fun!

Have a great evening,


Mr. Carr

Good evening everyone!

Tomorrow, York Region Public Health will be coming to administer vaccinations to students.  Your child will not receive a vaccination unless a parent/guardian has already filled out the necessary forms.  My understanding is that York Region Public Health would have mailed these forms to you directly, for the YRDSB does not organize the vaccinations.  So once again, your child will only be administered the vaccination if prior approval was provided by parents/guardians.
