Triad Meetings on September 9 and 10

On September 9^th & 10^th, 2015 parents and students are expected to attend opening year team/triad conferences with their parent(s). This is a great way to meet staff and learn more about our school. At the interviews parents, students and teachers will have an opportunity to meet one another to discuss the child’s education.  Parents can share important information about their child, discuss the use of iPads and review their child’s educational needs for the school year. The purpose of this meeting is to begin open and ongoing communication between home and school. Parents will also have a chance to meet with non-homeroom teachers such as physical education, resource, guidance, band and practical arts.  The school administration team (principal/vice-principal) will also be available. Also, parents can pay for student fees at this time.  Below is a breakdown of fees for the 2015-16 school year.

Students will be allowed to bring their supplies with them to the interview and may place them in assigned lockers.  For grade 6 students, this is also a chance to practice using the combination lock. 

To accommodate parents in our community, we will be conducting 20 minute team (parent, student and homeroom teacher) interviews at the following times:

Wednesday, September 9^th, 2015                             Thursday, September 10^th, 2015

1:00 PM – 6 PM                                                                 7:40 AM – 1:20 PM
