Dear Families,
Thank-you for another stand-up job this past week. Keep up the amazing work! Outside of all the sports practices that took place this week, my highlight was definitely our volunteer meeting and curriculum night. Great to see so many people out, building relationships with our staff, and supporting our school! Please see the following important updates. Any questions or concerns let me know. If I have missed anything please reply-all to this email.
Updates and Important Information
1) Federal Holiday: There will be a Federal (and provincial honoured by NL) Holiday to mark the Queen's funeral on Monday, September 19th 2022.
2) Sign-in Procedure: Please ensure students are following the proper sign-in procedures. If students arrive late for school they must enter through the front entrance and sign-in at the office.
3) Sign-out Procedure: If students are getting signed out, they must do so at the office and by a parent/guardian. Parent/guardian must enter the building and go to the office to request their child be signed out. Parent/guardians can still complete the online sign-out prior to coming to the school (for convenience sake) however they must park in the front of the school and come in to request/verify the pick-up. In situations whereby the parent/guardian cannot attend, they can complete the form but also must call the school to verify with the secretary. Students should be in-class until their parent/guardian attends the office to sign them out unless they are sick. If students are sick they must wait in the sick room.
4) Doorways: Doorways are back at Baccalieu to support students with mental health counselling for our students. Doorways will begin bi-weekly starting Wednesday, October 12th 2022. The following information is important for families including: Doorways Information and Doorways FAQ
5) After School Academic Support: Mr. Holloway will be staying after school to offer extra help for students on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00pm to 4:00pm. Mr. Holloway let his own classes know, but anybody looking for help in Math or even the CDLI physics students are welcome to drop by. Thanks Mr. Holloway!!
6) Call for Tutors: Any persons in our community willing to do one-on-one tutoring (outside of school and school hours) for our students in any academic areas including Physics, Math, Chemistry etc. please contact Mr. Saxby. Mr. Saxby can then distribute this information to any students/families that are interested.
7) Updated Course Descriptors: Please see the following link to updated Grade 7-12 Course Descriptors. Please be reminded that we will not administer Mid-year or Final examinations at Baccalieu Collegiate.

The information is specific to your child and includes a student number necessary for your accurate completion. Please see the following Rycor Message for Introductory information.
