COURSE CHANGES for Semester 2
School Counsellors are currently reviewing schedules and making course adjustments based on graduation requirements. Any students who would like to request a course change, will be able to make appointments on the following days:
Grade 12’s- Friday, Feb 3rd
Grade 11’s – Monday, Feb 6th
Grade 10’s- Tuesday, Feb 7th.
These course change requests are VERY LIMITED and not guaranteed. Students should not be leaving classes to go to guidance unless they have an appointment. Students also need to follow their scheduled classes until the change is updated in PS. If students were not successful in a course, they should make an appointment with their school counsellor.
