Weekend Homework and Parent Teacher Interview Update

Parent(s): many of you will receive cancellation notices of the booked times for your interviews. Core/homeroom students have priority with their respective teachers over rotary. Once all core interviews are booked (as best as possible), those teachers will be available for rotary appointments. This is supported by the Board's reporting expectation, that during the progress report, students will have a comment for either Science or Geography. Grade 7 students have Geography comments, where Grade 8 students have science comments. We are doing our best to be as accommodating as possible.

At this point you are requested to only book Core, French and Visual Art appointments.
