Yes, it is that time already to start preparing for the transition to Grade 9.  In January Grade 8 students will be selecting their Grade 9 courses for next.  (Where did the time go?)

Most of our students will be attending EDSS here in Elmira but there are other magnet programs that some of our students will be able to take advantage of.

Here are some important dates:

Elmira DSS  November 25, 2015  6:30 PM

Other magnet programs (which means that the student applies to a program outside of their school catchment area and attends that specialized program for their high school years.)

International Baccalaureate at Cameron Heights — November 24, 2015 7 PM

Fine Arts program at Eastwood —  December 2, 2015  6 PM

Fast Forward at SJAM  —    December 9, 2015   6:30 PM

Extended French or Strings  program at WCI —  January 13, 2015   6:45 PM

Talk to your Grade 8, they have print copies of this information.  We, our Grade 8 students, will also be attending EDSS on December 3rd for a tour and student focus talk about the wonderful things that await them next year.  Permission forms have been sent home with your child.

 

 

 

Each high school has an evening that parents/guardians can attend so that they can ask questions about the programs and be able to look at the facilities.
