High School Choices are IMPORTANT

Today was the due date for ALL Grade 8 students to submit their high school choices for 2015.  These forms were given out after the Native counselors' presentation last Thursday.  These included permission forms for the Grade 8 day on November 5th at ACS, BCI, HSS, MPSS, and PJCVS.  It is INTEGRAL that these forms be returned ASAP so that the transportation, food, and information can be planned for both the high schools and J.C. Hill.  If we do not receive the forms on time, then students may not be allowed to visit their first choice of high school.  This is an important part of learning about their chosen high school and discovering if it is the right fit for them BEFORE their grade 9 year.  Please speak with your child about this decision and return the form with BOTH sides filled out to your child's homeroom teacher, as soon as possible.  At this point we can not guarantee that your child will be able to go on the November 5th trip as the deadline has passed, but if you can get it in right away, we will do our best to make it happen.

High School Information Night


Grand Erie District School Board's high school information night is upon us!!  Please come to the Six Nations Community Hall between 6pm and 8pm to learn about all the GEDSB high schools our students can attend.  Each school's counsellors will be there to answer your questions and share information about what their school(s) have to offer.

There will be students currently attending high school sharing their experience and words of advice.

Make the right choice by getting informed and choosing the school that best fits your interests and goals.  Students will be asked to make their 1st and 2nd choices for high school shortly after this evening's information session.  A form will be sent home in the next week or so.  We hope to see you there!
