Final Math Problem of the Week is (Finally) Solved.
Congratulations to Hodesidahe for solving the phone number Math Problem of the Week last week. For his efforts, he received a slice of pizza. Since these problems have proven to be quite difficult to solve and have taken students a LONG time to solve them (even though they ARE grade level appropriate--in fact, some are from below grade level tests and contests--what's going on JC Hill teachers and students???) I think I may go to a Math Problem of the Month to allow for some more time for students to digest and attempt to solve these problems. Look for a new one in December.

High School Grade 8 Days
Parents and Students! Remember to check this blog for high school information. On the left hand side is a small agenda of upcoming High School events and if you scroll right down to the very bottom there is a full calendar of events. I try to put the high school's initials first so you can quickly see the school your child (or you) are planning to attend. This was shared on the form sent home in mid-October requesting your 1st and 2nd choice of high school. These forms were due on October 24th to plan our grade 8 high school visits and future communication regarding high schools. Some students have yet to return their form.
Hagersville Secondary School and McKinnon Park Secondary School both have parent information nights coming up at the end of the month. Click on the calendar event for details.
For those interested in Cayuga Secondary School, their grade 8 day is next week on the 13th. As we normally do not have a lot of students planning to attend CSS, parents/guardians would have to take their child to CSS and supervise them there.
