Million dollar question: What is about to be announced?

Homework Club is back!

Not only is it back, it’s expanding!

This year, every Monday and Wednesday there will be Homework Club in Learning Support (C142) from 3:15-4:15 for ALL grade 6-12 students.

That’s right! ANY student can come ANY time, no sign up required!

There will always be multiple teachers there to assist you on anything you need help with.

Confused? Homework Club.
Need help? Homework Club.
Want to work in a quiet space? Homework Club.
Want some candy and junk food? Eat some when you get home with parent permission 🙂
