BCP Family Weekly Updates: Tuesday, October 10th 2023 (DAY 10)

 Dear Families,

Great work everyone this past week. Some amazing teamwork, interventions, and flat our grit on display! 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) Thanksgiving Holiday: Please note we will observe Thanksgiving as a holiday on Monday, October 9th 2023. There will be no school on this day. 

2) Sign-in and Sign-out Procedures: Please note the online sign-in and sign-out procedures are effectively discontinued. You can see https://sites.google.com/nlesd.ca/baccalieucoll/resources?authuser=0 for more detailed instructions. 

3) Doorways (Information): Please note Baccalieu will be hosting Doorways at the school starting Wednesday, October 11th 2023 (bi-weekly). For more information please check out BCP Doorways & Frequently Asked Questions Rural Avalon

4) CDLI Meet the Teacher Night: On Thursday, October 12th 2023 starting at 7pm families are welcome to virtually attend the CDLI Meet the Teacher Night. Please see the following MESSAGE from CDLI

5) Tutoring for Tuition: 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).

6) District Wide School Closeout: Please note there will be no school for students on Monday, October 16th 2023. This day will be for teacher professional development and training. 

7) 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.

8) 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. 


9) Check the Calendar: Check the Calendar (www.baccaliecollegiate.ca) for further and future updates including extra-curricular activity practice times.
