Upcoming Events & Important Dates:

Picture Retake Day: Nov. 1st School Council Meeting: Nov. 6th @ 6 p.m. Remembrance Day Service: Fri., Nov. 10th @ 10:00 a.m. PD Day: Nov.17th, 2017 (no school for students) Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week—Nov 20-24 Extended French Information Night: Nov– 23rd

Principal & Vice Principal’s Message The fall is upon us and, believe it or not, our grade 8 students are already

beginning to think about high school choices and options (see page 2 & 3). In

fact we’ve had presentations and speakers from Central Peel S. S. and Grade 8

students and parents have attended information sessions at Turner-Fenton S.S.,

Mayfield S.S. and Chinguacousy S.S. for various regional programs. So if

your child is in Grade 7, this is what you have to look forward to next year,

and if your child is in Grade Six maybe you’re considering the Extended

French program located right here at Beatty-Fleming!

The Extended French program is another way for students to pursue learning

opportunities in French. This optional program starts in grade 7 and

provides for continued learning in the French Language. Students spend half

of their school day studying language arts, social studies and science in

French. What is the program like? What are the advantages and

disadvantages of the program? The best way to answer these questions is to

attend the information meeting in our library on Wednesday, Nov. 23rd,

2017 at 7 p.m.

So, please mark your calendars:

The date for our parent information night is Thursday, Nov.

23rd, 2017 at 7 p.m.

The online application form will be available on Thursday, Nov.

24th, 2017 at 1 p.m. at www.peelschools.org/French.

The application deadline for EF is Friday, Jan. 27, 2017 at 4

p.m. Beatty-Fleming is flourishing with school spirit and that was very evident

during our Fall Spirit Day, the recent success of our boys’ and girls’ cross

country and volleyball teams, the work our ECO Club has been doing, Beatty

Bistro, etc. Progress Reports go home on the 10th—please schedule an

interview with your child’s teacher and come in to learn how you and the

school can be partners in your child’s growth and social / academic success.

Sincerely,

Mrs. S. Bharath Mr. D. Elias Principal Vice-Principal

#chooseACTION on Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week The Peel District School Board will recognize Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week during the week of Nov. 20 to 24, 2017. This year, we ask our Peel community to ‘#chooseACTION to be inclusive’ in their classes, offices, schools, or communities, in order to make these spaces better places for everyone. The Peel Board would like to hear about the big and small actions, the pledges, the promises and the attitudes that our Peel community value, and ask that you take a moment to share your #chooseACTION moments on social media. Across the Peel board, schools use many programs and initiatives to prevent bullying and to intervene when bullying happens. Though the programs vary, their messages are consistent. Students are taught to:

define bullying

identify forms of bullying

identify the shifting roles in bullying relationships, for example the person who bullies, the target, the bystander or the trusted advocate

determine how to safely “choose action” to prevent and intervene in bullying and harassment

understand that bullying is a relationship problem with relationship solutions

determine positive ways to interact with others in an accepting, inclusive way

demonstrate character attributes and be a leader to help maintain positive and safe school communities

Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week is one of the key items contained in Bill 13: The Accepting Schools Act, that came into effect on Sept. 1, 2012. For more information, visit www.peelschools.org/aboutus/safeschools/bullying or www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/safeschools/prevention.html.

Beatty Fleming Panthers...In the Gym November is here, so long fall and here comes winter...and with it...Volleyball!!!

The Panther students have finished their Soccer and Ultimate games and class tournaments with the Green

squad coming out on top. Congratulations Green! Next up is volleyball, both in the gym classes and in

interschool sport.

The Panther students have been learning about net wall games through volleyball. Students are encouraged

and reminded of the successful strategies for net wall games...hit to open space, cover open space, change

direction and change force of where they hit the ball. Students are using these strategies in their class games

and tournament seeking to be the class and school champions. Once again the school champions will get their

shot at the undefeated teachers team. Could this be the year the mighty teachers finally go down. We’ll wait

and see.

Both the Girls and Boys volleyball teams return to league action this year, thanks to the work and dedication

of our coaches Madame Jolivet, Miss Concordia and Miss Weir. The Panthers will open their season with a

home exhibition game at Beatty-Fleming against Sir William Gage gators on Wednesday November 1. This

will help prepare our athlets for their season opening league games at Beatty-Fleming on Tuesday, November

7th & 9th, leading to their first away game on Tuesday, November 14th at Aylesbury P.S. Good luck to both

the boys and girls Panthers!

Our cross country team went out for their cross country meet and did

exceedingly well—Vinay came out in position 7 in the Grade 6 boys’ race!

And for all Beatty-Fleming students, the intramural program continues on

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as students continue battle for house

team dominance. Good luck to all the panthers in all their endeavours.

Pain is temporary! Pride is forever! From Mr. SMITH, PHYS. ED. Dept.

Article écrit par Ishita Bisla, mordue de faits historiques Groupe: 704 Le Jour Du Souvenir

Le Jour du souvenir est un journée pour nous commémorer des combattants qui ont tant sacrifié pour nous protéger contre nos ennemis aux coins du monde. Nous soulignons cet événement pour respecter les soldats décédés et les honorer parce qu'ils ont tout donné pour notre survie.

Chaque année, les écoles à travers le Canada célèbrent de plusieurs façons. Par exemple, en offrant des assemblées, en portant le coquelicot rouge, en écrivant des récits et en observant 2 minutes de silence à 11h. Les deux minutes de silence sont respectées à

à la 11ème heure le 11 novembre du 11ème mois depuis 1918 les armes ont été déposées en silence en Europe. Nous portons le coquelicot rouge parce que c’est un symbole de souvenir et d’espoir. Se souvenir est le moins que nous puissions faire pour ceux qui ont combattu dans l’armée pour notre liberté.

Titre : L’Halloween

Aujourd’hui, c’est le 28 octobre 2017. Emily n’a pas de costume. Elle

n’a pas d’idées. Cependant, quand elle va sur Youtube, elle observe

un youtubeuse qui s’habille comme une vampire. La youtube use

porte des vêtements réguliers. Elle porte une robe rouge, un manteau

noir, des guêtres noirs et des talons rouges. Celle-ci a acheté des

dents de vampires. Soudainement, Emily est devenue inspirée. Lors

de l’Halloween, elle portera des vêtements réguliers et elle sera

habillée comme une vampire. Ses amies aiment son costume.

Finalement, elle a une superbe soirée au cours de l’Halloween.

Titre : La baie de terreur

Nous voulons vous parler de ce qui s’est passé dans la baie de

terreur.

Idée principale :

Le grand mystère des Canadiens. Il y a de nombreuses années,

Franklin est allé en expédition où il est décédé. Son équipage

manquait à l’appel. Il était composé de scientifiques qui ont été

finalement retrouvés dans des navires.

Résumé :

Sir John Franklin, un héros de la marine et un explorateur

expérimenté, a dirigé son équipage pour explorer l’Arctique. Son

but était de trouver un passage plus rapide de l’Europe vers l’Asie.

Il a voulu faire ce voyage parce que le commerce pourrait être plus

facile. Il voulait ouvrir le Passage du nord-ouest vers la Grande-

Bretagne. Il y avait aussi des scientifiques canadiens comme

Sammy Kogvik, la marine britannique et les membres d’équipage

du navire. De plus, il y avait Michael Byers, un professeur de

relations internationales. Les scientifiques voulaient savoir ce qui

est arrivé à Sir John Franklin, les membres de son équipage et son

bateau.

Cross Country News On Tuesday, October 24, a group of enthusiastic runners trained by Ms. Routhier braved the cold weather to take part to the annual meet at the Heart Lake Conservation Centre in the North of Brampton. Amongst the 22 runners, there was Vinay, a grade 6 boy, who ranked 7th in his category receiving a medal honoring his accomplishment. Congratulations go to Vinay for his amazing performance and to all the other running enthusiasts from Beatty Fleming. You made us proud. Madame Antonide Ligondé

Give what you can on United Way Giving Day – Nov. 15, 2017 At the Peel District School Board, our mission is to inspire success, confidence and hope in each

student – each and every day. Yet we know that there are many needs in our community that we can’t

address on our own, like providing food for families that may go without or supporting communities

after a crisis. That’s why we are holding a board-wide giving day in support of United Way of Peel Region, a key partner and supporter of

Peel families. This year, the Peel board has declared Nov. 15 as United Way Giving Day to raise much needed funds for United Way of

Peel Region and the network of social service agencies it supports. Whether it’s providing shelter for a mother and her children in Bramp-

ton, matching a child who is at risk with a mentor in Caledon, or funding a breakfast program in Mississauga for youth that would other-

wise go hungry, United Way of Peel Region offers hope and possibility to thousands in our community.

A donation of:

$2 may go towards a warm winter coat for a child.

$10 supports a child with interactive, recreational outings for one year, including healthy snacks

and transportation, to help them build their social skills and self-esteem.

$25 matches a teen with a caring adult mentor who will meet with him or her several times each month for fun activities.

This is a completely voluntary campaign and any contributions are welcome. Whether you send a loonie, toonie, cheque made out to

your child’s school, or donate through School Cash Online, your contribution will make a difference. Pledges of $25 or more will auto-

matically receive a tax receipt from United Way of Peel Region. To receive a receipt, you must fill out the pledge form on the back and

send it to school with your donation by Dec. 15, 2017. Thank you for lending a helping hand to those who need it most.

Together, we can Inspire Possibility!
