September, 2016
The most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching! The custodial staff at SAM have worked industriously over the summer to ensure the school is in tip top shape for September.
Staff changes for the 2016 – 2017 school year include a new Vice Principal, Jack Levy and two new teaching staff, Dan Cho and Samantha Hawn. Welcome to SAM!!
Gr. 8 class lists will be posted on the front window by 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 6th. Meet SAM staff, new and old classmates, on the front lawn.
Gr. 7’s enter at 8:50 a.m.

What do you need for the first day?
Lunch (SAM has a cafeteria if you wish to buy lunch, a drink or a snack.), binder, tab/dividers for the binder, pencil case with a few favourite pens, pencils, pencil crayons, an eraser and a small ruler…, we’ll help you out with the rest!
The following items will be available for purchase the second week of school:
School Agenda $5.00

School ends each day at 3:08 p.m. To conserve paper and support our green planet initiative, @SAM we keep in touch with you online. Your child forgot their agenda at school, or perhaps your child is ill and cannot attend school? No problem, check class homework on SAM’s website to catch up. The school year calendar, monthly calendars and TDSB and community flyers will also be posted on SAM’s school website regularly throughout the school year.
It is very important to provide us with an email address. Monthly updates will be sent out via email at the beginning of each month.
