Let’s Keep Our Children Safe!
With wet or cold weather, many parents provide transportation for their children to and from school. With the best of intentions, cars are being parked on the east side of Booth Drive (which is a no stopping zone) waiting to pick up the children. This presents a serious hazard as cars come around the blind corner from both directions to a collection of parked cars with children dashing out to cross the street to get to cars parked on the west side of the street. In order to protect our children, please do not park on the east side of Booth or on the walkway up to the front doors of the school. Cars should be parked on the west side of Booth or on one of the side streets. Thank you for your cooperation.
Is my school bus cancelled? Policy states that "Extremely Cold Weather - A wind chill of -45 or greater will dictate cancellation of school buses within the division." For information on bus cancellations, visit our website or listen to CJOB.
Bruce Middle School has established a strong "Tradition for Excellence" in Academics, Technology Education, Athletics and co-curricular activities. This proud tradition is largely due to our very dedicated and experienced teaching staff, who continue to set high achievement standards for all students.
Our strong academic programs are enhanced by a state-of-the-art Technology Lab, the first of its kind in Manitoba, as well as mobile wireless iBook labs. All labs offer access to the Internet and bring the ‘high tech’ world into the classroom helping students develop the skills required in the future workplace. Our school also offers a wide range of enrichment courses in both the visual and performing arts. Bruce’s award winning Later Literacy project is designed to improve the reading skills of all Grade 6 students.
Bruce is also a designated “cluster” school for the Division's Special Needs and ACCESS programs. We offer modified programming for students in both the Special Needs and A.C.C.E.S.S. programs. Additional programming is also offered in Home Economics and Physical Education for these students. Our students also train and compete in Special Olympic sports. Dedicated teacher time has been scheduled to enhance Math, Language Arts, Reading Comprehension, and Life Skills for Grade 7 & 8 A.C.C.E.S.S. students.
