Dear Families,
Keep up the hardwork! You're all doing great! Thank-you in advance for taking the time to review updates and important reminders! Any questions or concerns let me know. If I have missed anything please reply-all to this email.
Updates and Important Information
1) Wear your Jersey Today: Holy Cross Elementary (Holyrood) is inviting schools around the province to help remember the life of a young boy from their community. Lincoln Joseph Walsh (7 years old) passed away tragically October 18 in the community of Chapel’s Cove. On Monday, October 23, the school is inviting students to wear their sports jerseys in memory of a little boy who loved team play, competition, and being with his friends and family. Lincoln Joseph Walsh (July 21, 2016 -- October 18, 2023)
2) School Council: There will be a School Council Meeting at 6:30pm on October 24th 2023.
3) Doorways: A reminder that Doorways will be at Baccalieu on Wednesday, October 25th 2023 to meet with students. Please connect with Ms. Doyle to have your name put on the list.
4) Field Trip Permissions: A reminder to all Grade 9 and Entrepreneurship students/parents/guardians to complete permission forms for the upcoming field trip to St. John's before Thursday, October 26th 2023. Grade 9 Students will be travelling to the Geo Centre for Science 9 learning while the Entrepreneurship students will be travelling to Memorial and the Genesis Centre. Big thanks to Green Seafood for sponsoring this field trip for our school!
5) Halloween Dance: Let's get our spooky on! Student Leadership has organized a Halloween Dance for our students on Thursday, October 26th 2022 from 7PM to 9:00PM. Stay tuned for more information. Please ensure you review the BCP School Dance Rules. Students must be in good standing with respect to their behaviour at school to go to functions such as Baccalieu dances.
6) Tutoring for Tuition: We are looking for Student Tutors! Please pick up an application form from the office and complete and pass it to Mr. Saxby if you are a student in High School and are interested in participating in the Tutoring for Tuition Program this year. Tutors will provide a maximum of 120 hours of tutoring service but not less than 15 hours during the 2023-2024 school year. Reimbursement will be in the form of a voucher based on the minimum wage rate and when the tutoring occurred. (April 1, 2023 $14.50, Oct 1, 2023 $15.00).
7) School Pictures: A reminder that school pictures will be taken on Wednesday, November 1st 2023.
8) Need Help Posters: The District's Provincial Safe and Inclusive Programs Itinerants have created a Digital "Need Help?" Poster that we believe can greatly benefit our students in Grades 7-12. The poster will be printed and placed in high-visibility areas throughout the school. The poster contains a QR code that students can scan with their cell phones to help them learn about local supports available to children, youth, adults, and families by providing quick and accessible information to assist students when they encounter issues or have questions related to their well-being.
9) Assessment Support Calendar: Please do your best to add assessments to our Assessment Support Calendar. This calendar is shared on our www.baccalieucollegiate.ca site for both students and families to see and support their organization. Additionally, give our IRT team a heads up at your earliest convenience so that they can mobilize effectively to support.
10) Check the Calendar: Check the Calendar (www.baccaliecollegiate.ca) for further and future updates including extra-curricular activity practice times.
