☀️ Good morning, Cougar Families! 🐾
♥️💛As we get ready for middle school, it’s a great time for students to learn how to open a combination lock. This is especially helpful for our incoming Grade 6 students and a quick refresher for students entering Grades 7 and 8.
‼️‼️‼️IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FAMILIES:
Please DO NOT purchase a combination lock. QMS provides a standard school-issued combination lock on each locker. 🔒🐾

🌙✨🐾 As the sun starts setting a little earlier each evening, it’s a great time to get back into healthy routines before middle school begins.
A consistent bedtime, fewer screens before sleep, and putting cell phones away after bedtime can help students wake up rested, focused, and ready to learn.
Small habits today can make a big difference in September.
