Dear Governor Semple Families,

Many people think we begin to “wind down” in June, but this

time of year is actually a very busy one at school! With warmer

weather, the opportunities for outdoor activity, field trips and

special events are endless.

Staffing and class configurations for 2017-18 are not fully

determined at this point, however we hope to send information

soon. Report cards will be available via Parent Connect on June 28th

for your viewing. Go to www.7oaks.org/school/governorsemple/,

Parents tab (at the top right), Parent Connect and then enter your

email address and password. You can also review attendance and

ensure your contact information is up-to-date.

If you have any questions about school events, please do not

hesitate to call us at 204-339-7112. Happy June!

Karen Hiscott, Principal

2017

EAL SUMMER CAMP

The hardest part of any school year, in the library, is when the students stop checking out

books, and my job shifts from a 'Library Technician' to a 'Book Bounty Hunter'.

As of Wednesday, June 14th, I will be asking for all Governor Semple School library

books to be returned. I will be writing many notes to parents and guardians asking to

look around their abodes for our missing pieces of literature.

If a book is lost there are a couple options:

1) Pay for the book, as the notes will have the books original price on them

2) Replace the book with another of equal value

3) Replace the book with the exact one that was lost

If you have any concerns please feel free to email me; sara.wilson@7oaks.org

I’d be happy to answer any questions.

Happy Book Hunting!

The Balanced Experiential Education Program (B.E.E.P) is a FREE summer program

for students in Grades 1-5 at Governor Semple & Victory Schools. The program is run by

certified teachers and provides hands-on learning activities, sports, art, music and

cooperative games. The program is FREE and loads of fun and we hope that your child can

attend! Our summer program runs from Wednesday, July 5th to Friday, August 11th (Monday

to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) B.E.E.P. registration forms have been sent home.

"We have two garden beds that would love to be filled with

perennials. If you have any in your garden that could bring

to school (hostas, ferns, lilies, etc.) please let us know!

Spring is a great time to move them, so the sooner, the

better!"
