3) Close out Day: Baccalieu Collegiate will have a Close-out day Friday, January 19th 2024 for teachers professional learning journeys.
4) Missing Items: Prior to the Christmas holiday we had two students stolen from. In the first weeks of January we have had a high number of reported missing items that were thought to be stolen but were in fact misplaced. On behalf of Baccalieu staff we urge students to store their valuable possessions in their assigned locker under lock and key or keep these items close to their person. Lockers are narrow but adequate fitting items when taken out of the bag and organized. Students' personal and valuable items are their responsibility and should not be left behind doors or on the floor in the hallways for safety reasons (trip hazard etc.). BCP admin is working with the RCMP regarding the previous thefts and will continue to review student procedures if/when needed to prevent any further problems moving forward. In the meantime, please continue to promptly report to admin any illegal activity if you are a witness. Please continue to keep your valuable items on your person or safely stored in your locker.
5) Study Hall: Please note that our Study Hall with Mr. Holloway will continue into the new year. Study Hall is an excellent resource providing your child a distraction free and routine space to work on their studies. Study Hall is every Tuesday and Wednesday from 3-4pm. Support from students and teachers are available. Don't be shy. Come to the Study Hall!
6) Anti-Bullying Day: Pink shirt day is February 28, 2024. If you need a new one you can order it here and it will shop directly to the school! Shirts are $9.00 taxes and shipping included. Please see our facebook page for more details.
