Principal’s Message
Posted on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010The following is a school-wide announcement that was given to students after lunch today:
Afternoon Mariners,
It is truly unfortunate what occurred today at lunch. A premeditated food fight has left the deck area in a mess. Eggs were launched outside. We have a few students with injuries and many who had their clothing stained.
It is unfortunate that a few immature people can impact so many.
We will be checking the two video cameras in the cafeteria. We will be looking for anyone who threw food. Regardless of who started it, by throwing even the smallest of food, you have perpetuated the fight and could have caused injury to others.
We will make a list of those who threw any food substance from the video.
We ask any student who threw food to report to the cafeteria after school to help clean up the mess. Please make sure you sign in so you have been identified as having helped clean up. We will have mops and cloths ready for you to help with the clean up. If you help with the clean up we will not follow through with suspensions, sending you to write exams at another location or withholding of transcripts. All of these consequences are common consequences for this type of behavior. Once again, please make sure you sign in so you have been identified as having helped clean up
Students who do not show up after school and have been identified as having thrown food substances on the video, will be suspended starting next school year, will have to write exams at another location and/or will have their transcripts withheld until which time we will ask you to come pick them up.
Please note:
The cafeteria/Deck will be closed for the remainder of the year.
Teachers, please note that Locker clean up will be postponed until further notice.
Peter Johnston
Principal
