The first day of school for the 2019/2020 school year will be Thursday, August 8th. We will begin the day with a welcome
assembly followed by shortened blocks and students will attend all of their
classes (blocks 1- 8). The following day, Friday the 9th, we will move into our
regular rotation with blocks 1 - 4 and, then, on Monday the 12th, blocks 5 - 8.
Students are able to change their schedule between the first day of school through August 23rd at 4:00 pm. Students returning to school late will not
receive an extended add/drop period.
A Note from the Nursing Office
Student health records are important sources of
information. Please note the following requirements for next year. Parents who have any questions should follow up with the nurse's office directly.
· On initial enrollment or at the beginning of grade 3, 6, or 9, a
physician completed form must be
provided.
· Students with significant allergies, on daily medication or who have experienced changes in their health status, should submit the annual form completed by a physician.
· All forms are due by the end of the second week of school.
Reminder for IB and AP students: Boot Camps in August – A Message
from Mr. Malone
IB Boot Camp will be the first Saturday of the
year, on August 10th. Year 1 students and families are invited from 9:00 - 10:30
am and Year 2 students and families from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm. We ask all IB
Diploma candidates and their parents attend.
AP Boot Camp for all AP students and families
will be Saturday, August 17th, from 9:30-11:00 am. There will be a
focus on students taking AP courses for the first time, We will also review the

Report Card Pick Up and Online Access for Grades 9 - 11 - Repeat
Announcement
Report cards and other transfer documentation
will be available for pick up from June 5th onwards. Shortly after that date,
report cards will also be available for download from PowerSchool.
Please note that teachers do not write
personalized comments for the end-of-year report card. As such, you can expect
to see a score for each of the achievement strands, as well as an overall
course score, and a rating for each of the learning habits. We have added a
data visualization feature to the report card in which you can see a comparison
of performance for semester one and two by reporting strand. We hope families
find this helpful in discussing individual strengths and areas of growth across
disciplines.
Sincerely,
Joelle Basnight
High School Principal
