By now you have received the most important word about how this school year
has begun – the informal reports given to you by your son or daughter. The staff
hopes those reports are positive. We hope you feel that the school year has begun
well for your child. We are pleased to have you as partners in this educational
year. As the year progresses, and as you become either more informed or more
puzzled, we encourage you to call the school and talk to those who might be of
help. We are glad to have you with us this year and we want to assure you that we
will do our best to help your child excel. With your help and cooperation, this
should be an excellent school year!
With the first month almost behind us, our goal continues to be student-focused.
Each time my administrative duties take me “where the action is” I am impressed
with the energy teachers expend to involve students in learning activities that sup-
port their being successful. The creative use of technology, as well as more inno-
vative teaching strategies, makes learning a lot more engaging than it was when
we were teenagers!
Typically, this excitement of a new school year wears thin and routine sets in. As
the days grow shorter, it is just a bit more difficult for students to face “another
school day…another test…another project”. These are times when we adults need
to “be there” with a word of support or a pat on the back. We experienced suc-
cess and failure – and we know how important it is to keep an eye on our goals.
Let’s remind students of the need to take it “one day at a time” so that they can
move forward.

Parent's can call any time of day and leave it on the answering machine 888-8460 push #1 (available 24 hours a day). Messages are checked periodically and usually before recess and lunch hour.
If parent's are picking students up early they are asked to come into the school....please do not call ahead. Student's stay in class until parents are in the main office so they do not miss class
time. Teachers are also asked to keep students in their classes until they hear from the main office. If student's return, we ask them to come to the main office so their attendance can be adjusted. Parent's
do not have to come back in with students upon their return. All notes are asked to be brought into the main office however, phone calls are recommended. If parents forget to call the day of absence,
the 24 hour answering machine is available and attendance will be adjusted the next day.
On September 4th our Student Council welcomed the grade 10’s to TOSH with a BBQ and school tour. A big shout out to the students who organized this event along with Mrs. Keough. With over 250 grade 10 stu-dents this event is a great transition for our grade 10’s before the start of school. Our grade 10’s were also treated to a “TOSH WELCOME BACK VIDEO”. This video was produced by TOSH’S very own Chris MacDon-ald, Matt Rodger, Sebastien Roy-Garand. The following is the link to the video :
