Spring is here; Mid-term report cards arrive soon

 Permanent link
Well spring has arrived and we are almost at the midpoint in our semester.

Midterm report cards will be going home Friday, April 27. These are a good indication of whether or not a student is on track to receive their credit. It is not too late to turn things around if a student is having difficulty in a course. If you are concerned about your student's progress, please don't hesitate to contact his/her teacher to develop a plan together. Please contact the school at 519-925-3834.

Just a reminder that there is assistance for all students at lunch for math, science and writing. Extra help is available for students every day from 12:00 to 12:25 pm in Cyberplace (Rm 75 on Day 4), Science help in Rm 88 on days 2 and 4, and Math help in Rm 26. The library is also open all of lunch for students who need to use a computer or need a space to do work. Help is available from staff in the library if students need assistance with computers or finding books or reference materials. The library is open from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm every day.

Once again this year, math students in Grades 7 to 10 will have access to live, interactive, online math help through the expansion of a pilot project funded by the Ministry of Education. Homework Help is free, real-time math tutoring by certified Ontario teachers. A teacher from within the Board is available to walk through a question or students can listen in as a teacher explains a problem to another student. There are also archived questions that students can access.

The best thing a student can do to be successful is to be in-class everyday and to connect with their teacher when they are having difficulty.
