House Track Day
House Track Day is on Monday, October 27. Students will attend Block E from 12:35 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. and then walk over to Varsity Stadium as a class. Dismissal is from the stadium but some co-curriculars are running at 4 p.m., so students can either bring their bags or plan on returning to school after the event. Supervision assignments for staff without a Block E class are here.
Attendance sheets for additional staff can be picked up in Room 350.
Please email studentlife@utschools.ca with any questions.

That afternoon slump might not be tiredness—it could be dehydration. Keep a water bottle nearby and sip throughout the day. Adding lemon, cucumber, or berries can make it more enjoyable.
