Grade 8 Information

There are many exciting adventures waiting for you in grade 8. Encountering bigger hallways and bigger students, changing classes every period, juggling homework, and making new friends!

Making the transition to secondary school can be a little unsettling for students and parents. We’ve tried to answer as many questions as possible below:

GRADE 7 FULL DAY VISIT –  Wednesday, May 24

Our incoming Grade 8 students will join us for a full day to experience a “day in the life of a secondary school student”. Our Counsellors will deliver your temporary timetable to your elementary school the week before and will answer your questions. Plan to arrive at MRSS between 8:00 – 8:20 with your timetable and map. Click here for the day’s itinerary.

GRADE 8 ORIENTATION DAY – Thursday, August 31

On this day we welcome students to the start of the school year and provide many orientation activities to better acquaint them with MRSS. We start the day at 10:00am with an assembly after which our LINK crew (senior mentoring students) take over with all kinds of events and orientation activities just for you. You’ll also be given your timetable and are welcome and encouraged to spend some time finding your classrooms once we are done. We are updating the details but soon you can click here for an itinerary for the day.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

At MRSS we do not put out a list of school supplies for students. The essentials such as a binder filled with lined paper, subject dividers, pencils, pens, a ruler, highlighters, pencil crayons and a scientific calculator are the staples of school life and can be reused from previous years or purchased new – it’s up to you!
