Search the Daily Bulletin

Feeling like you missed an important bulletin announcement? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to find out that information in a quick and easy way? Well, you’re in luck! Using the search function, you can type in keywords for a quick reveal of all the previous posts that contained that word, beginning with those posts that have the word in the title. Likewise, if you want to make sure your post can be found easily, name it something memorable and relevant to the topic – like if you’re running a Pizza-making ASA, name it “Pizza Pie Time” or something with “pizza” in the title. Just use the magnifying glass in the upper right-hand corner of the screen:

See? Easy as pizza pie!

‘Pause Day’ Grades 10 and 11

Pause Day has arrived!

Today, you’re focusing on the personal, academic goals you made in Life 101 last week.

Plan recap:

  • Follow your regular schedule, and work on your goals;
  • Your regular class teachers are expecting you to arrive as usual;
  • If you are consulting with another teacher, make sure to check in with your scheduled teacher first and then go to see your chosen teacher.

Can’t remember your goals, or where you are supposed to be?

  • Check your email receipt from last week;
  • Check the list on the glass of the LGR or in the Maths corridor;
  • Ask Ms. Ham or Ms terBorg.

Have a wonderfully productive day!
