Shadow Day is on the Way!!

McKinnon Park Secondary School has set their Shadow Day for Six Nations schools.  It will be Tuesday, May 6th.


The agenda for the day has not been set at this time, but will be sent out next week along with an information sheet for parents. 



MPSS is encouraging Grade 8 students to find their own MPSS student to shadow.  To avoid overcrowding in the Grade 9 classes, students are welcome to choose an MPSS student from other grades (though the student they choose should not have a spare this semester).  If a student is having difficulty finding an MPSS student to shadow, please contact Mr. Restoule General prior to the date so there will be time to find an appropriate/available ambassador.  An MPSS student may only have one shadow per day.

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.

Shadow Days

Permission forms for the Hagersville Secondary School and McKinnon Park Secondary School Shadow Days on May 6th were sent home today.  The BCI and PJ forms will be sent home next week as we are still waiting for some details, though they will also be on May 6th.  Transportation will be provided to HSS and MPSS and quite possibly, BCI and PJ as well.

Tollgate and Assumption College are having grade 8 days on May 22nd, though they are not the same type of day as a Shadow Day.  Information and permission forms for these dates will be sent home once more information is available.  Please return all signed permission forms to Mr. Restoule General.

If there are any questions, you may call either JC Hill School or your child's high school.
