Hello TOSH Parents and Guardians!

If you are a parent of a grade 12 student, their school year is officially over! If your son/daughter is with us in grade 10 or 11, they only have one final exam standing between them and the relaxation of summer holidays! Wow. If the old adage, "Time flies while you're having fun" rings true, then we must have had one humdinger of a time this school year! Time has never flown so fast!!

Dates to Remember:

Our Grade 12 parents have a busy-and probably emotional!-week ahead! Here are some "should know" info for now, but please do not hesitate to contact us at the school if you have any further questions or concerns!:


When?: Thursday, June 21, 2012. The Processional of Graduates begins at 6:50 p.m. and the Graduation Ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. We are hoping to streamline things this year and aiming for a 2.5 hour long ceremony.
Where?: Credit Union Place, Summerside
Tickets?: None needed! Everyone is welcome to help celebrate our graduating students. Seating will be in the bowl only (Grads and VIP's only on the floor) on a first come, first served basis.
Dress?: Students will be wearing graduation gowns, but it looks much classier if boys wear pants, rather than shorts, and a tie (optional). Girls can wear either pants, dresses, or skirts but should make sure that their shoes are comfortable to walk in! This is NOT the night to try high heels for the first time! :-) Please also remind all grads: NO GUM!! It looks terrible on stage!
CD Souvenir: We have a professional photographer hired again this year to stand front and centre and take a professional photo of everything that happens on stage. Each grad will receive a complimentary CD containing all the pictures taken at the graduation for you to enjoy!

Grad Rehearsal and Breakfast: The Grad Breakfast begins at 9 a.m. on June 21 at the school. We then bus the students to the CUP for rehearsal around 10:30 a.m. and back to the school afterwards. Grads need to arrive at the CUP by 6:15 p.m. on graduation night.
Safe Grad Activity for Grads Afterwards: Registration forms have already gone out to students for Safe Grad, and the form and money collection times have passed. Parents interested in volunteering snack food, or time as supervisors, are encouraged to contact Dia-Lynn Keough ASAP at: dlkeough@edu.pe.ca.
NOTE!!!!:  **Post-Secondary Information!**:  Students headed to post-secondary schools next year MUST come in to Student Services to sign the sheet saying where their final transcripts are to be sent OR THEY WILL NOT BE SENT, WHICH IS NOT GOOD!! Also, if your son/daughter has received a scholarship and you would like this recognized during the graduation, they must bring in a copy of the scholarship information to Student Services ASAP.

LAST CHANCE!! Survey Monkey for Parents!  We are looking for some feedback-positive and constructive-regarding how we did reaching our school goals for this year. So far, 66 parents have responded. 574 of our students completed the Student survey on line during Block A classes (229 grade 10, 226 grade 11, 117 grade 12), and we will consider all comments and results as we begin setting our goals for next year.  Thanks in advance for taking the 10-15 minutes necessary to do this! Just click on the following link and thanks in advance for your input and honesty!: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/toshparentsurvey2012  

Course Selection Verification for 2012-2013

Mr. Jason Gallant posted a draft list of course selections for current grade 10 and 11 students on the Lecture Theatre walls last week. We have asked students to check first to be sure that they have 8 courses selected in their schedule and then to see Mr. Gallant to talk about any necessary changes that might need to be made. We are hoping to get most conflicts settled before heading out for the summer and calls home will be made if any clarification is needed. If your son/daughter has not already consulted this list, please ask them to do so ASAP.

Kudos to Our Kids!

Hello TOSH Parents and Guardians!

Things are winding up to wind down these days at school.  Our Grade 12's will begin their final exams on Monday, and the Grade 10's and 11's will join them in that final assessment process beginning on Wednesday of this week.  That means it will be class as usual for the 10's and 11's on Monday and Tuesday. When students are in exams, they must remain in class from 8:55-10:30 a.m. before they can leave. Exams run each morning of the schedule until 11:30 a.m. (See Dates to Remember section!). After that, students are encouraged to use the time to seek extra help or study. They do not have to remain in the building in the afternoon; but if they do, they are asked to be prepared to do something constructive with their time.

Please Note!:  There will be no cell phone use permitted in the school from 8:55-11:30 a.m. beginning on Monday due to the final assessments happening in the school. I will be making this announcement to our students on Monday morning and their teachers will be reminding them each morning, as well.

TOSH Rugby Wins AAA Provincial Double Gold!
A huge thank you goes out to all the student and parent fans who braved the Arctic temperatures to cheer our TOSH AAA Men's and Women's rugby teams on to provincial gold against Charlottetown Rural last week. Both tries for the ladies were scored by Ashley Wright and the drop goal was scored by Erica Gillis, for a final score of 13-5.  They try for the men was scored by Luke Thompson with the conversion kick scored by Greg Arsenault for a final score of 7-0. (Can anyone lend me a "Rugby for Dummies" book?!) Thanks to all our athletes for an exciting season and for the "class" you showed as student athletes, both on and off the field, this year. We're proud of you!!

Gold Medals kept our girls warm!

2012 Three Oaks Senior High School Art Exhibit Showing at MacNaught History Centre and Archives 

 The 2012 Three Oaks Grad Art Exhibit will be on display at the MacNaught History Centre and Archives from June 5th through to June 14th. Six students of our art teacher, Shannon Evans, will be graduating from TOSH in June and it has become a tradition for Wyatt Heritage Properties (the arts, heritage, and cultural complex for Summerside) to host an exhibit of their work.  The exhibit will feature painting and sculpture. The MacNaught Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm at 75 Spring Street, Summerside. Admission to the show is free and this is a wonderful opportunity for Islanders to see some of our upcoming artists. 

2011-2012 YEARBOOKS ARE HERE!
Students who ordered this year's copy of the Enhancer (which looks FANTASTIC!) in the fall received them last week. Mrs. Callbeck had ordered some extra copies that were to be available for a cost of $50 until they are gone, so students can see her in Room 410 if they wish to purchase a yearbook.

Remember, June can be a very stressful time for many reasons, so give your son or daughter a little extra TLC these next two weeks. We promise to do that too! :-)

Hello TOSH Parents and Guardians!

Tonight has been an inspiring experience, and I am SO proud of our 8 TOSH student Relay teams! Kudos to Ms. Cara DeCoste and our team leaders for getting organized enough to raise over $4500 for the cause. TOSH kids making a positive difference...Awesome!

Cell Phone Policy "Tweak"!
As you may have already heard, we decided to align our Cell Phone Use policy with that of the WSB, allowing students to use their cell phones responsibly in school during non-instructional time. Between period bells (everywhere in the building), which is deemed instructional time, students will be expected to have phones turned off/on silent and away unless teachers decide to use them for an educational purpose. Infractions during instructional time will reflect the original cell phone use policy. Our students have also been reminded that FOIP restrictions prohibit the use of cameras or video devices in school without administrative approval.

Extra-Curricular Awards Assembly: June 5

We will be celebrating some of our Grade 12 students on June 5 at our annual Extra-Curricular Awards Assembly. For the three years that students are involved in activities at TOSH (sports teams, clubs, groups, special initiatives, etc.), they receive "points" for the hours of time they have invested in making our school a better place to be: 1 point for every 10 hours of time spent. Students who accumulate 500 hours of extra-curricular involvement by the end of Grade 12 receive a certificate, while those who acquire 1000 or more hours receive a certificate and an extra-curricular award pin. We are proud of all students who have taken the time to get involved. Three years can fly pretty fast when you're having that much fun!

Survey Monkey for Students and Parents!  We are looking for some feedback-positive and constructive-regarding how we did reaching our school goals for this year. Our students will be completing the Student survey on line during Block A classes this week, and we are asking parents to complete the Parent survey from home, as well.  This will help us as we consider setting our goals for next year, so thanks in advance for taking the 10-15 minutes necessary to do this! Just click on the following link and thanks in advance for your input and honesty!: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/toshparentsurvey2012

2012 Three Oaks Senior High School Art Exhibit Showing at MacNaught History Centre and Archives:  The 2012 Three Oaks Grad Art Exhibit will be on display at the MacNaught History Centre and Archives from June 5th through to June 14th. Six students of our art teacher, Shannon Evans, will be graduating from TOSH in June and it has become a tradition for Wyatt Heritage Properties (the arts, heritage, and cultural complex for Summerside) to host an exhibit of their work.  The exhibit will feature painting and sculpture. The official opening of the exhibit will be held on Tuesday, June 5th from 7 to 9 pm.  An invitation is extended to all Islanders to attend, as our students are excited about the opportunity to meet with the public and talk about their art careers.  The MacNaught Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm at 75 Spring Street, Summerside. Admission to the show is free and this is a wonderful opportunity for Islanders to see some of our upcoming artists.

Good Luck Rugby Players!

Both our A Men's and Women's rugby teams are headed to the provincial semi-finals at Charlottetown Rural on Monday, while both our AAA teams play provincial finals on Wednesday here at home. Good luck to all our players and congratulations on a very successful TOSH rugby season!
