STEP 2: Contact your guidance counsellor about your summer school plans.
STEP 3: Complete the online registration (if you are taking both Civics and Career Studies you will need to complete a separate online registration for each course.)
STEP 4: After Registering... You will receive a ‘Course Request Received’ email with the Parent/Guardian Consent form as an attachment. Complete the consent form and have your parent/caregiver sign it. Be sure to check your Junk Mail and Spam folders in case the email winds up there.
STEP 5: Submit the completed Parent/Guardian Consent form to your guidance counsellor to approve or deny your request. This is an extremely important part of this process because your counsellor requires this form to change your status from ‘registered’ in the course to ‘enrolled’ in the course. If you do not complete Step 5, you will not
have a seat in the summer school program.
Ways to Submit the Parent/Guardian/Caregiver Consent Form

● Take a photo of the completed consent form and email it as
a JPEG or PNG file. Please ensure the content of the photo is readable, OR
