Schedule update

May is upon us and as we look through the last part of the year the grade 9’s have quite a few upcoming events that I thought I would take the time to share with you. 

May 9^th is the ELA Part A – Written exam. 

May 11^th we will be taking them to the Economics for Success course at SAIT.  This field trip is an opportunity for them to meet with individuals in the business world and learn about financial planning.  The forms will be coming home in the next several days, but we will be looking for a couple of parent volunteers to come along.

May 15 will be the launch for the CASH project.  This is the grade 9 cross-curricular project and the students will be working to create a society. They will be working on this project intensively every other day through its length.  We work with the students to promote proper organization, but this project can become quite stressful so it is important for parents to be encouraging their children to stay on top of their assignments so not to become overwhelmed.    

           

CASH will wrap up with a night of presentations at the school on June 13^th.  We encourage all parents to join us from 5-6:30pm to see what their child has been working on.  These presentations will be assessed, and are a required part of the project.  Should there be a conflict in scheduling it is important that teachers are made aware as soon as possible.

The Grade 9 Triathlon will be on May 26th

Grade 9 farewell will be held on June 15^th.  More details will follow.

The PAT exams begin on June 22^nd.  They will be written in the mornings for the final week.  At this time students should be reviewing using the website Quest A Plus, which contains questions in all subject areas off previous PAT exams.  As well we have signed up for field testing future exams, so students will have a chance to see similar questions over the next several months.
