Grade 8 Student Feedback Needed
Students who are currently in Grade 8 are invited to attend a feedback session about some potential new courses for the 2018-19 school year. For grade 9 and grade 10, we have been exploring the idea of offering some new integrated core course options . An integrated course would combine two subjects together, for instance English Language Arts and Design, or Science and Social Studies instead of offering them as a stand alone course as they currently exist. This would provide an additional option for interested students, not replace pre-existing courses.
Regardless of whether you like, love, or even despise the concept we are looking for some student volunteers to participate in a feedback session on these new course ideas!
The feedback session will be on Friday, January 12th at lunchtime in room 1223 (across from HS office) and as a thank-you for your participation, pizza lunch will be provided.
Please indicate your interest to participate by signing up here. As space is limited, please check your email for confirmation prior to Friday. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Giroux.
