Sophomores: Sophomore Seminar II was presented last Monday and Tuesday (January 21, 22) to all Grade 10 students. This was a career exploration using Naviance and Holland Codes. Those students that missed the session will have a make up next week.
Juniors: TOEFL- those students holding a passport from a country that English is not the native language took the Institutional TOEFL on Friday (January 25). This is a practice and these students will need to take the “real” TOEFL for college admissions.
The next Junior Seminar is January 28, 29. There will also be a parent meeting for all Grade 11 Parents the evening of January 29 (6:30PM). Juniors should be working on the Junior Packet. It includes important assignments to be completed by January 29 including a “Junior Profile,” “Resume,” “Self Recommendation” etc. There’s even an assignment for parents (Parent Perspective)!
Seniors: You may receive notice from your University about an updated transcript. Mid-Year reports (including Transcript) will be going out to all universities today and early next week. As University decisions come in, students should notify their counselor. This is important information for future students!
