The last week of May holds many bell schedule updates. Here is a look at what to expect:
Monday May 25: Schedule II (Capstone)
Tuesday May 26: Schedule II (Capstone)
Wednesday May 27: Schedule IV (Late start for students) - this is no longer a schedule III, as that will move to June 3.
Thursday May 28: Schedule II (Capstone)
Friday May 29: Schedule II (Capstone)
In the week of May 25-May29, each of our Grade 12s will be meeting with a staff member as a major part of their Capstone Project. In order to facilitate all of these meetings, we will be moving to Schedule II bell schedules for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. This way Grade 12 students may book appointments outside of classes or spares.
The meeting is formatted like an interview and feedback will be provided to the Grade 12 English teachers. This project is part of their course and ultimately coordinated by Mr. Broadhurst and Mr. Friesen. Good luck to all Grade 12s in their interviews next week!
