Hello, students! My calendar will be unavailable for appointment bookings beginning on October 6 due to the strike, and my calendar will only release new appointment dates once schools re-open and we are back at work. All weekly check in appointments as well as GSA will resume upon our return.
Schools will be closed during any strike action. For more information on the strike, please visit the RVS website. If you have a question for our school, please email summittrails@rockyview.ab.ca as my e-mail will not be monitored until we return.
Mental Health Supports
A short list of support contacts is listed further down this page (including 911 for mental health emergencies), but for a more comprehensive list of support helplines and resources available within RVS communities, the following links may be of use. As always, I encourage you to tell you parents or guardians if you are struggling in any way so that they can support you.
Post-Secondary
October is a big month for post-secondary! You can begin to apply for early admissions, and there are many open houses starting as early as the first weekend of October. Please visit the link below for our scholarship booklet, step-by-step instructions on how to apply to post-secondary, in-person open house dates, and more.
U of C - The University of Calgary put together a great page if you are applying there. They have step-by-step instructions on how to apply, a 30 minute podcast titled "Admissions 101" and more. You can view their admissions info page here.
