Dear Grizzly Families,

Parent-Teacher Interviews will take place on Thursday, November 20th, from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm, and Friday, November 21st, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity to connect with your child's teacher(s) to discuss their learning journey, celebrate their achievements, and address any challenges they may be facing.

Use the link below to access the Gregory Drive Public School Parent Teacher Interview booking platform. Once you have opened the link, ensure you use the dropdown menu to select the teacher that you would like to meet with. From here, select the ten-minute interview time that works best for you and your student. Interview time slots will be filled on a first-come basis.

If there is not a date and time available that works for you and your student, and you would like to participate in a parent-teacher interview, please reach out directly to your child’s homeroom teacher to set up an alternate date and time that is more convenient.
If you are unable to access the link provided, please reach out to the school directly, and we will assist you in making the appointment.

Parent Teacher Interviews 2025-2026

We look forward to seeing you,


Zach Halwachs

The Power of the Poppy. During discussions, we brainstormed words that came to mind when we think of the poppy. Four words stood out to us amongst a long list of words. The poppy is a powerful symbol of loss, gratitude, sacrifice and peace. We wear a poppy to learn from history, to honour all military heroes both past and present, and to show appreciation and gratitude for our freedom and peace.

Our Inquiry on rocks and gems began when Mrs. Wilson noticed that the students were finding rocks outside at recess and were bringing them in to show us. From there, we started asking what a rock was. Where do gems come from? What is a fossil? Where are the crystals?

Our rocks/crystals/gems inquiry
Some of our research
We wanted to make a cave. We want to mine too. Mr. Mac is too big to fit.
We have to make some crystals and special rocks to find.
I see some crystals and minerals
Safety first! You need a hard hat and some flashlights to see underground.
Look what I found!
Oooo! Crystals!
Mr. Mac and Miss Simpson have to try it first. Pickaxes are ready to go!
Congratulations to all Grizzlies who competed in the regional cross country meet at Sarnia’s Canatara Park! You gave it your all and represented our school well!
