Good morning secondary teachers,

Have a great Friday!

ASW is BACK!

All grade 6-12 students are invited to attend the After School Workspace (ASW) on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00-4:10 PM in the Learning Support Area (C142) around the corner from the PAC!

You have questions? We have answers!

You don’t understand something that you are learning in class? We can help!

You need a quiet place to study? We have TONS of space!

You need to work on a group project? We have rooms for you!

You lost your notebook, can’t find your schedule, have no idea where your locker is, misplaced your lunch card, your sister ate your homework, and your computer ran out of batteries? We can solve all of those problems and more!

It all starts on Wednesday, September 22nd at 3:00 PM.

See you there!
