Middle and High School Transitions
Details are getting exciting for our rising 9th graders as they prep for High School next year. Ms. Barker (University and Careers Counsellor), recently met with the 8th grade students to walk them through their high school courses. Parents, to get everything squared away, make sure your student logs into their PowerSchool account to submit their Course Request Form between April 17th and April 30th. If you have any questions you can always reach out to Heather Barker directly via email. It’s a big milestone and we look forward to supporting the students on their four year high school journey which includes IGCSE, IB, and High School Diploma qualifications.
The transition to Middle School is officially underway, and the Grade 6 team enjoyed kicking things off this morning with our 5th grade parents. We held our virtual information session where parents met the Head of Grade 6 (Alyssa Dreelan) and the School Counsellor (Mrs DeGraw), to get the inside scoop on Middle School routines. It was a great time to start putting friendly faces to names and to share in the excitement of the IB Middle Years Program.
More activities are coming up! There is a parent coffee in Ms Dreelan’s room for 5th grade parents on Friday May 22 from 8:45 to 9:15. We are also planning to visit the students soon, along with inviting them up to middle school for some fun activities.
Have a lovely weekend!
Warm regards,
Mrs DeGraw
School Counsellor
