Planner Errors for February:
Page 92 – My School Plan for the Week:
Cross out “Wednesday is Y Day” and “Friday: Term 2 Marks Cut-Off”
Page 92 – Monday, February 20 should be a collaboration (AM) schedule. TA starts at 9:30 am
Page 93 – Wednesday, February 22 is not Y day – the block order is BCDEF
Page 94 – “MARCH” is actually “FEBRUARY”
Page 94 – My School Plan for the Week: cross out “Monday: Newsletter home”
| IMPORTANT GRAD INFORMATION:
· Please see Mr. Clutchey in room 1110 to get measured for your grad gown. · Grad Transitions 12: At this point, your Grad Transitions assignments should be complete. Be sure to turn in any missing forms (exit interview, etc.) to your teacher ASAP. If your course is not done, you should be attending your fixed block every Friday. · Be sure that you’ve completed your PSI online form if you are planning to apply to a post-secondary institution. An early offer of admission does NOT mean that you can skip this step as this is how post-secondary institutions confirm that you have graduated at the end of the year. Remember: it is your responsibility to ensure that your transcripts are sent to post-secondary institutions by their deadlines. Read letters and e-mails from PSIs carefully to ensure you don’t miss a step! · If you have not yet paid your cap and gown fees, the deadline is February 28. See Mrs. Shamro in the office if you have any questions about these fees. · Our first dinner/ dance grad committee meeting will be Tuesday Feb 21 at lunch in room 2145. Bring your ideas and your friends. |
