We’re looking forward to the launch of a new school year and welcoming the grade 8-12 students next week. Some grade specific information is list below to help you navigate the first week back.
Grade 8
Grade 8 students will have a half-day orientation on Tuesday, September 7 from 9:30 AM – noon. They will be welcomed by Mrs. Lorna Herzog and Mr. Gabe Kremler, spend time with their homeroom teachers, go over their class schedules, and have a chance to get to know the high school building while they have it all to themselves!
Wednesday will be a full day of classes for grade 8, and Thursday they will have a class trip to Camp Imadene.
Please check your inbox (or spam!) for the detailed information and forms sent from Mr. Simon Tuffin, as there are forms to be completed and brought on Tuesday.
Families will receive an email on Friday, September 3 to let them know their student’s homeroom teacher and sharing a bit more about class schedules.
NEW Grade 9-12 students
If students are new to the high school in Grades 9-12, there is an orientation meeting they should attend on Tuesday, Sept. 7 from 11 AM – noon (in the studio…turn right when you enter the building). They will meet with Mrs. Lorna Herzog and Mr. Gabe Kremler and be introduced to counsellors and the athletic director. There will be student tour guides who will tour them around the school and help them find their classes and meet their teachers.
Grade 9
The first day for Grade 9 is a full day on Wednesday, September 8. As usual, our Wednesday start time is 9:10 AM, but school doors will open at 8:50 AM.
All Grade 9 students will begin each day with their Humanities classes. Families will receive an email on Friday, September 3 to let them know their student’s Humanities teacher and room number. This is where the student should go when they arrive on Wednesday morning. In this class, they will receive their complete class schedule and will also select their first elective option. Note that all Grade 9 students have Humanities, Math, and Physical & Health Education year-long in the mornings, with Science, French/Spanish, and electives in the afternoon.
