Course Selection Forms

Hi all
Couse selections forms and booklets went home yesterday with each student.

1. For students who have applied to specialized programs, you should hear back from that school by February 14th. If you do not hear back by that date, please call the school.
2. Course Selections Sheets are due into me by February 19th at the very latest.
3. Students with their parent(s)/legal guardian(s) are responsible for completing the Course Selection Sheet. Teachers are not permitted to fill these forms out but we are allowed to advise. For example, if you are unsure whether you should be in academic or applied, we may advise you but ultimately the decision rests with you and you parent(s)/guardian(s).
4. Our guidance counsellor gave a profile of students who should register in the "academic" stream: students who can work independently, sit quietly, take notes ... Please note that, in my professional opinion, this profile is incorrect. Students who are kinesthetic learners, students who may be ADD or ADHD, students who like to talk and share ideas, students who feel the need to move around a classroom - are also well suited to the academic stream in a high school.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi all
Just a reminder that we will be walking to Metro and No Frills tomorrow to buy food for our lunch that we will be making on Friday. Permission forms are not required as they were covered off with our "walking excursion" forms that were filled out in the September package.

Please dress for the weather.

See you all tomorrow.

Hi all
Welcome back! I hope you all had a good break and spent some time relaxing with family and friends. As well, thank you all for your very kind and thoughtful gifts. I was suitably spoiled and enjoyed sharing everything with my family over the holidays! Thank you!

We are in the midst of preparing report cards for Term 1. There are some of you who still need to hand in assignments from last year and I will be speaking with each of you about this. Last year, I wrote notes in agendas with instructions that parent(s) were to sign and return to me. The next step is for me to start calling home. Please do not have me resort to this. Your assignments are due immediately.

For those of you have me for Math - there will be a Math Quiz on translations and reflections on Wednesday. Please review your notes and come to class prepared.

See you all tomorrow.
Ms V.
