The O₂ coordinator will visit and speak to all grade 9 teachers and guidance counselors of Caledonia Junior High, Ellenvale Junior High and Eric Graves Junior High. Grade 9 students will also receive a presentation of the Options and Opportunity Program. Any student interested or recommended by the grade 9 teachers will receive an application. The application consists of four pages, three of which are completed by the student and the last page is by the parent. Once all applications are received and reviewed, the O₂ coordinator will arrange a time to meet with the student. Once all interviews are complete, a maximum of 22 students will be selected for the program. A letter of acceptance or decline will be mailed. Students accepted into the program will then have their courses hand selected for the upcoming year.
