October had us continuing on our trend of keeping busy here at SRT–with Fall sports in full swing (Cross Country, Boys Soccer, Volleyball, Football and Field Hockey), and student events happening on the regular (assemblies, clubs, school dance, Festive Flex) there’s always something to participate in!
News from the Main Office
Student-led conferences are happening this month. Parents were sent a portal message regarding the new process of signing up. Report card instructions will also be on the portal, for those parents and students who do not yet have access to MyClass. Students should also be able to log in and show parents report cards on their myClass. Parents are reminded to call in if they wish to sign their student out from classes early–if your student is coming late, please be sure to call in so your student is marked as excused.
Curriculum
We are excited to be off and running with a number of new courses this year at SRT, including our English 10 streams (Spoken Language, New Media and Literary Arts). We will also be offering dates in January to write and rewrite the Numeracy Assessment (https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/provincial-assessment/graduation/numeracy). If your student has already written the assessment, they can check their results HERE.
Festive Flex happened at the end of October, and was an opportunity for students to connect with teachers who they don’t normally see! From spooky cookies with Ms. Rowell to tossing pumpkins off the roof with Mr. Crich, students got a chance to participate in some fun and interactive activities!
Careers 9
Students are required to complete Careers 9 for Graduation. Grade 9s will be given a package to complete at the beginning of November, that will also be posted on the website. This package includes assignments, reflections and presentations that allow them to begin exploring their options for their future.
Take Our Kids to Work Day is their first assignment. Please be sure to check the portal for more information, and to complete the necessary paperwork to release your student from classes on November 14. They will have a worksheet to take with them in order to complete the assignment. If you student is unable to go with yourself or another trusted adult on November 14th, they are expected to attend classes as usual. They will also be required to complete an alternate assignmen
