Dear Students and Parents,

From the Health office (for Returning Students)
The Health form and Physical Exam form must be completed and submitted to the Health office before the 2nd week of August for all returning students.
Student End of Year Check Out Forms
Once final exams begin and students no longer have need for their texts and supplies, please note that they are encouraged to pick up a check out form from the High School Office. This form must be completed before records are released. The form entails collecting signatures from teachers and other coordinators (e.g. librarian) to demonstrate that all school materials have been returned.
Semester Exams
Exams begin today - Friday, May 27th. Students need only be on campus when they have an exam. Students choosing to remain on campus to study when not in an exam are asked to respect the needs of those around them by remaining quiet and focussed when in shared spaces. Students needing a “brain break” are asked to use the outdoor spaces and/or iHub to relax and enjoy their friends. The library becomes a quiet zone once exams begin.
Students are reminded to arrive to the covered play area ten minutes before their exam begins. This will allow us to seat everyone in a timely manner. Students should leave all backpacks and valuables in their locker as the gym locker rooms will be reserved for bathroom breaks only.
