Dear Parents & Guardians, GRADE 9 MATH EQAO: On June 3 & 4, ALL grade 9 students will be writing the mandatory EQAO Grade 9 Math Exam. Please ensure that your child is in their designated room by 8:30 a.m. Students in grade 10-12 will start their day at 10:00 a.m. on these dates. Please contact Ms. Pyper at 416-393-9180 if you have any questions.
EXAMS: Starting June 13th, students will be busy completing their final examinations. I wish them all the best of luck. Thank you for supporting them! Please ensure that you and they know exactly when each exam is. A detailed schedule was provided to you in the April report card. It is important that students develop a comprehensive study schedule, be free of distractions, get lots of sleep, healthy food and exercise over the examination period to reduce stress. If you have any questions, please contact us. RETURN OF SCHOOL ITEMS: Please ensure that all textbooks, athletic uniforms, library books and music instruments are returned to the school by the end of June. Please check with your child if they have an outstanding uniform , library book etc. We thank you for your assistance in this matter. COMMUNITY HOURS - GRADUATION REQUIREMENT: If your child is in grade 12 and plans to graduate, please check if they have submitted their community hours (at least 40 hours are required to graduate). We still have a rather alarming number of students currently, that have NOT submitted their hours and WILL NOT graduate. Their community hour passports will only be accepted for the next few weeks, so please ensure they are submitted to Guidance ASAP. PLEASE NOTE THESE OTHER IMPORTANT DATES: Monday, June 24th: Students can (and should) review their exam results with subject teachers 8:45-9:45 a.m. Tuesday, June 25th: Students can (and should) review their final marks (from 1-2:30 p.m.) with home form teachers. If needed, summer school registration will occur from 1:30-2:30 p.m. This date is very important, as marks cannot be changed after this. Please urge your child to attend and if there are issues with grades, to speak to their teachers or to the Guidance department. Friday, June 28th: Report cards will be mailed home. Please review the envelope materials carefully as in addition to the report card, information for timetable pickup, student activity fee payment & photos as well as opening week schedules will be included. Have a safe, fun and happy summer! Joel Gorenkoff Principal
