New Timetable and Bell Schedule

A new bell schedule will be in place for the 2011 - 2012 school year. Below is the new bell schedule:

Period 1: 8:35 - 9:55 a.m.
Break: 9:55 - 10:10 a.m.
Period 2: 10:10 - 11:35 a.m.
Lunch: 11:35 - 12:20
Period 3: 12:20 - 1:41
Period 4: 1:46 - 3:07

Basically, the morning classes have been shortened, and afternoon classes extended, so that all classes are the same length now.

Counsellor Days

The counsellors will be in their respective offices next week from Monday to Wednesday dealing with student timetable issues. Counsellors will be in from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day.

Because of the large number of students who may need course changes, there are strict restrictions as to who we can see:

Monday, August 29: Only students who have received an incomplete timetable, with fewer than 8 courses, and those who have successfully completed a summer school course (thus changing what course(s) you need to take) may come in.

Tuesday, August 30: Our priority would still be to help students with incomplete timetables and/or those who have completed summer school courses. Students who wish to make course changes (e.g. wanting to drop drama to take foods) may come in to write down your course change REQUESTS.

Wednesday, August 31: International students, as well as students who wish to make course changes, may come in.

Please note: We must make sure all students have a completed timetable first. Course change requests are fulfilled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Because different courses are filling up differently, you may not be able to get a course that you want.

Thank you very much for your patience, everyone. I hope very few of you would have to see me, but if you do, pardon me in advance for being stressed out... it IS that time of the year where things are completely crazy.
