We have had a busy couple of weeks getting our students ready to make solid Academy Choices. Last week, students completed RIESAC surveys & explored Hawaii's Career Kokua Web-site. They also had the chance to attend a mini-fair and an assembly highlighting our Academy choices. Students all had the chance to tour at least one strand in each academy this week. Thank you to all of the parents who turned out for our Grade 9 Parent Meeting on Monday, January 9th. The purpose of the meeting was to explain our transition to Academies and the Academy Selection Process. We also went over graduation requirements and answered questions from those in attendance.
On Thursday, January 12th, students will be asked to select rank their strand choices in each academy and to tell us what their overall first and second choices are for academy and strand. Be on the lookout for an Academy Selection Form to sign on Thursday evening! The forms are due Friday, January 13th and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Students should turn their forms into their science class teacher on Friday.
