            TheSpring Musical has been established for the week of April 15. It will be theChildren of Eden. It is one week later than originally scheduled so we are ableto reschedule Parent Teacher meetings to a Thursday evening and a Fridaymorning. This will mean that only one set up is required. Accordingly, theparent teacher meetings will be Thursday, April 10 from 5:00 – 7:30 andFriday, April 11 from 8:30 – 11:30.

            Thecourse registration process will begin after the March break.

            Itis very important that students understand that the courses they select willdirectly determine which classes are offered and how many sections of eachclass will be offered. Accordingly, course requests must be completed in aninformed and serious manner.

            Onceall the course requests are tallied and the classes determined, a masterschedule will be created. Students will then be registered based on the master scheduleas determined by their requests. All requests may not be met so students shouldhave an 11^th course selected in their mind in case an adjustment isrequired.

            Thefollowing are the dates and activities:

-         March 10  - March 21: Guidance Counselorsvisit all English Language Arts classes from grades 9-11.

-         Grade 12 students who need coursesare to listen to the announcements for direction

            The grad class skate scheduled for Monday andpreviously announced has been cancelled because of the amount of class timemissed.

            Wehad someone pull a fire alarm this morning resulting in the evacuation of thebuilding. The Fire Department responded promptly. Students were permitted toreturn to the areas of their exit but were required to remain by that exituntil the final approval by the Fire Department members who were here.

            Ihave made an announcement requesting that any information about who may havepulled the alarm be given to a teacher, the office or call Crime Stoppers.

            Obviously,having students out in the snow with emergency vehicles on the road is a hazardto everyone. Hopefully, we will receive the information and determine whopulled the alarm.

Grade 8 Math assessment results for students have been given to Grade 9homeroom teachers. Please ask if your student has received the information andbrought them home. Any grade 9 student who did not receive their results shouldinform their home room teacher. These results are not a graduation requirementlike the English Language assessments. One of the difficulties is that the studentswrote the assessment while in Grade 8, then transferred to a high school.

Report cards for semester one will be given to studentstomorrow, Friday.

There will be a boy’s hockey game tomorrow, Friday,February 1 at Harbour Station against Harbourview High at 8:30.
