1) Textbook, Locks Return: This is a final reminder for all students to ensure textbooks are passed back to teachers before the end of the day Monday, June 20th 2022. This is an important process since textbooks are not replaced and are used over the following year. Locks also need to be returned to homeroom teachers. Parents/Guardians will be issued a bill for any unreturned textbooks.

2) Level 3 Chromebook Return: Level 3 students must have their Chromebooks returned by Monday, June 20th 2022.

3) Pull Tabs: We're looking at filling three full buckets of pull tabs in support of the Janeway. Last call this week for pull tabs!! Amazing job this year! 

4) Remediation/Recovery: Students requiring final course remediations are expected to do so under required supervision on Monday, June 20th 2022 (all day) and if necessary Tuesday (am) prior to engaging in celebratory activities. 

5) Sports Banquet:  Baccalieu Collegiate Sports Awards Banquet will be held on Monday afternoon, June 20th, starting after lunch by 12:50pm in the cafeteria. Respective coaches, teacher sponsors, and athletes are invited. Unfortunately, families - and the general public are not permitted to attend but we certainly hope to open this banquet up next year.
