Hello everyone!
My name is Mr. Slyk and I will be
teaching grade 4 – 10 Health & Physical Education for the upcoming
2016-17 school year. I want to take this opportunity to welcome all students
and parents to my Health & Physical Education classroom. I am excited about the new school year
and am looking forward to meeting all of you.
I am a graduate of York
University’s Urban Diversity consecutive education program and am exited to
begin my second year at St. Jude’s Academy as Head of the Physical Education
Department. My goal as a Health and Phys-Ed teacher is to ensure that all
students are having FUN. I strongly believe if students aren't having fun, they
are not motivated to learn. I will include all students, challenge all
students, provide all students with opportunities to inquire about learning
experiences and give them multiple opportunities to grow and succeed as IB
learners. I strongly believe that by setting a positive example for my
students, I will encourage them to lead healthy active lives. I am excited
about the opportunity to learn more about your child’s past experiences in Health & Physical Education and their interests, so that together we can create a school
environment that is engaging, inclusive, safe and fun for all.
Here are just a couple of
important dates to keep in mind:
-Orientation night will be held on
Wednesday, August 31 at 6pm.
-First
Day of school is Wednesday September 7, 2016.
-Homeroom student
lunch forms and a signed student handbook (Please note the changes) contract
are to be submitted to myself on either orientation night or the first day of
school.
Look
forward to meeting you!
