Greeting Grade 9's!


Greetings class of 2012!

I have had a chance to re-connect with many of you and am very happy to be back.

In the next couple of weeks I will be visiting your Socials classes to discuss the dangers of drugs and alcohol and new research about the links between drugs and psychosis. We will look at crystal meth and how it can age you by 20 years. We will also discuss ways to improve our resiliency. (Resiliency being your ability to bounce back from life's ups and downs and to say 'no' to drugs and alcohol)

The bottom line here is, your brain is yours for life and drugs and alcohol pose a threat to your young, developing brains :)


Another issue that has come up in our discussions is attendance. I am pleased to say that the majority of Grade 9's are roarsy and responsible. However, students who continue to miss classes without a valid reason will have to start giving back time in school service (AKA garbage duty). Notes from parents excusing absences need to get to the office in order to be properly excused.

As you know, I'm available to talk about these and other issues.

Class of 2013 Time Capsules

Dear Grade 8's

In the next few weeks, I will be visiting your classes to work on the time capsules. Here are some items I would like you to bring for your time capsule:
  • your letters to self, that you did in Humanities
  • your grade 8 school photo
  • if you have a printer and a facebook profile, it might be fun to print out your profile page
  • any poems, pictures of friends or other items that you'd like to put in the vault for 4 years :)

Greetings future Tupper Grads!


For those of you who may have missed my class visits this week, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Ms. H and I will be your counsellor until you walk across that stage jut a few years from now.

High school is an exciting time and it definitely has its ups and downs. Along with your teachers, parents or guardians and the Tupper community, I will assist you as you journey through your teen years.

As a future grad of Tupper, you also have some responsibilities, and from time to time we may discuss these :) First, I expect you to follow Tupper's ROARS student code of conduct. Second, being roarsy means going to all of your classes, being prepared to learn and participating in school.

I look forward to getting to know you better

Ms. H
