The Beyond 8 website has a wealth of information for families about the grade 8 to 9 transition, including a timeline for what to expect each month, insights on specialized programs, course selection, and more.
We suggest thoroughly reviewing and bookmarking the site. Applications, deadlines, open house, etc. tend to come up quite quickly so it's best to be as prepared as possible.
Review the Beyond 8 slideshow presentation for further details on the transition process.
