One more week of classes and we are into Final Exams! Please read the Dates to Note section below carefully so that you will know the schedule for the next two weeks.
This past weekend, Three Oaks Athletics partnered with the City of Summerside and the Summerside Storm Basketball team to present an invitational Men's AA Basketball tournament on the Storm's court at Credit Union Place. The following teams competed: TOSH, KISH, KRHS, and Bluefield and KISH came out on top, winning the final game against Three Oaks. Special thanks goes out to Storm Basketball Coach, Joe Salerno and Assistant Coach, Mike Leslie for their support. Also, thanks to Storm players: Louis Birdsong, Antonio Ballard, Omari Johnson, and Brandon Robinson who rode the team benches and cheered the players on! Kudos to TOSH Player of the Game against KRHS: Colton Wadman (Grade 10) and the Player of the Game in the final against KISH: Brady Arsenault (Grade 12)!

FINAL EXAM WEEK NOTES
Final Exam week is scheduled for Jan. 28-31 inclusive. While the final assessment in courses can take forms other than the traditional "pen and paper" style exam (presentations, projects, debates, etc), there will be meaningful assessment taking place in every class that week. This means that attendance during exam week is mandatory and it will be important for parents/guardians to alert the administration if their son/daughter is not going to be in school any of those days. Please note that attendance will be taken at the beginning of the exam period and calls made home if students are missing.

WINTER STORM DAYS AND FINAL EXAMS
In the event that we have a Snow Day off school during the regular Final Exam schedule (See above), all schools in the former Western School Board will be following the same protocol:
* The exam that should have happened on the Snow Day will take place the morning of the very next day and any future exams scheduled will be bumped ahead in order
* Feb. 1 will remain as Turnaround Day (no school) regardless of exams
* Monday, Feb. 4 will become the final day for exams, if the need arises, with Semester 2 beginning on Feb. 5
We are hoping that week will go as scheduled!
