Senior Band/Choir

The Band/Choir trip to Toronto was a great success!  Both groups earned the highest possible rating – Superior – from their adjudicators.  Equally important, their behaviour was great.  Staff at restaurants, hotels, and our drivers all took time to mention how respectful and polite the group was.  Thanks to Lisa and Christopher for all of their work preparing these groups for their performances, and to all of those who helped to make the trip possible.
 
Clean up
Just a reminder that we are looking for two classes per week to keep our school property, and neighbouring properties, clean.  Many have signed up – but there are spaces for the coming weeks.  I think this has been working really well to keep ahead of the garbage that can build up.
 
EAL Support
Peter Larsen is now working with us at Harbour View for the remainder of the school year.  He will be supporting EAL students.  He has a schedule designed to work with the students needing the most support, but if you have other students you feel could use additional EAL support please reach out to Peter.  Kevin Hilchey is continuing to work as an EAL tutor for two half-days per week as well.
 
Exam Schedule
Catherine sent out the exam schedule this morning.  Please be sure your students are clear about when and where they will write each of your exams.  As follow-up from our last Staff Meeting, we will look at the Exemption Application Form and ask students to identify which exam they exempted first semester (if applicable).  The district policy is that the same subject area cannot be exempted both semesters –even if it is a different course. 
 
Example:  Pre-Calc A and Pre-Calc B cannot both be exempted during the same year even though content is different.  Similarly, Bio 11 and Bio 12, etc…
 
Only 21 class days to go!
