WELCOME TO THE 2016-17 SCHOOL YEAR

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.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me at aslyk@stjudesacademy.com


Look forward to meeting you!
