Bonjour BP families: 

I hope that you enjoyed the Thanksgiving long weekend and benefited from the excellent weather and relaxing time spent with friends and family, or whatever it is that fills your cups.  

Bonne chance to both our girls and boys soccer teams as they compete in semifinal matches this week. Go Panthers! 

Shouting out all of our basketball teams this week who have played some excellent games against schools in our division.  

All CBE middle schools have set similar expectations for games that promote safety, respect, and a positive experience for all.  They include: 

·        All student spectators/athletes must be under the direct supervision of a designated adult 

·        There are no in and out privileges for spectators 

·        Student spectators without adult supervision will be directed by the hosting school administration to leave the building 

·        All spectators - students or adults - are expected to cheer and support players/coaches/referees/parents/guardians in a positive manner 

·        Disrespectful behaviours will be addressed by school administration promptly and may result in spectators being directed to leave the game and the school building
