Nicole's Notes: Volume 19 (Feb.3, 2014)

Happy Monday TOSH Parents and Guardians!
Mitch "stylin'" AND staying warm! :)

Semester 1 Final Exams are now behind us, and our students can look forward to the fresh start that Semester 2 always offers. Please note the important information about course changes below. The deadline for those is this coming Friday! Report cards go home via our students on February 10, but all Semester 1 marks will be available on SAS this week. If you require a SAS login and password, please call Mr. Jason Gallant at 888-8460 or e mail him at: xjgallant@edu.pe.ca.

The information session that Mr. Donovan plans to do around long term course selection planning with all our Grade 11 students has been postponed until February 11 and 14. This session will be repeated with our Grade 10's prior to the 2014-2015 course registration deadline.

SEMESTER 2 COURSE CHANGES

The final date for Semester 2 course changes is:
Friday, February 7/14. It is important to note that some courses are already full, but we will do our best to accommodate students who wish to make adjustments to the their previously chosen courses. If your son/daughter is not successful in one or more of his/her Semester 1 courses, parents should be considering whether this fact necessitates an immediate change for Semester 2. GRADE 12 students should be especially diligent in making sure that they have all the necessary courses needed for graduation in their current schedule! Students requiring changes should fill out a course change sheet in the Main Office and will be seen by Mr. Jason Gallant (Main Office) or Mr. Jim Donovan (Students Services) before Friday.
