We are asking families of secondary students who want to make a change in their child\u2019s mode of learning, to do so by<\/span> Friday, October 16 at 4 pm<\/b>. This is one week earlier than the previous deadline of October 23.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new, earlier deadline of October 16 will help students feel settled in their learning plan for Quadmester 2 as well as allow schools to have time to finalize student timetables.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Significant reorganization of our high schools has to occur for each quadmester on a very short timeline. Some unique course offerings and programs (ex: IB, AP, integrated arts), or courses that have a small number of students, may not be available in our Distance Learning Program. Home school course offerings may change for the same reasons.\u00a0 Guidance staff will contact students to let them know if a course they selected is not available.\u00a0 They will provide new course options in these cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondary students will transition to their new learning environment, in-person or distance learning, at the start of Quadmester 2 on November 16. In the meantime, we encourage our families to have their child continue to attend their in-person or distance learning program.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to request a change to a student\u2019s mode of learning:<\/h2>\n
