Dear Families,
Thank you for taking the time to review Baccalieu Collegiate’s announcements for this week. As always, please review the updates for important reminders, upcoming events, and school information.
Updates and Important Information
- Midterm Exams
Midterm Exams will take place during this week (January 26–30). Important points:
- If a student misses a mid-year exam, documentation is required. Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed by the administration on a case-by-case basis (as per NLSchools AER policy).
- In general courses, students will complete summative assessments in school during the mid-course exam period. Ms. Reid's general ELA class will be working on their mid-term assessment throughout their regularly scheduled classes of midterm week.
- Please remind your child that students are not allowed to talk to each other during exams, even after they have completed their exam and are waiting for the class to finish. It may compromise the integrity of the exam, and talking can distract others who are still writing.
- Classes will continue throughout the week as normally scheduled, as per NLSchools policy.
- If school is closed due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, any exams scheduled for that day will be rescheduled to take place during the week of February 2-6. Any changes will be communicated as early as possible. Just in case, students should bring home their study material every evening this week.

- Prepared for Class
Students are expected to come to class prepared each day with all required materials, including pencils, notebooks, and their Chromebook. Chromebooks should be charged, and students should have their chargers with them. - Drama Club Hoodies
Drama hoodies are available for purchase online using the following link: https://star-creations.ca/collections/baccalieu-collegiate-clothing. Orders were due January 23, so if you have not already done so, please place your order asap. - White Hills Field Trip
We’re excited to share that we are planning a ski/snowboard trip to White Hills this year! This opportunity will be offered to high school students first. If we do not reach bus capacity, it will then be opened to younger grades. Full details, including permission and payment information, are available through Rycor. - Tutoring for Tuition
Tutoring for Tuition is now available. If you feel your child would benefit from extra academic support, please reach out to Mrs. Reid or Mrs. Slade to get started. We’re happy to help students build confidence and strengthen their learning. - Lost & Found
Our lost and found table by the gym entrance is nearly overflowing. If your child(ren) is missing any clothing, that'd be a good first place to check. - Extra Curricular Schedule
Baccalieu Collegiate offers extracurricular activities, including sports, drama, tutoring/study hall, DND, and more! Please check our Calendar and our Facebook page for schedules. - Absence / Sign-In / Sign-Out (Family)
Attendance is critical for academic and social success, as it ensures that students are actively engaged and able to fully benefit from the educational opportunities we provide. Please make sure that you sign your child in and out when arriving late or leaving early. - Kids Eat Smart Breakfast Program
We are looking for additional volunteers for our KES Breakfast Program. Anyone interested, please contact Ms. LeShane at marleneleshane@nlschools.ca. - Star Creations - BCP Apparel
Show your Baccalieu pride with school clothing/gear from Star Creations! Order online through the link on our school website under BCP Merchandise. - 295 Baccalieu Sea Cadets
The 295 Baccalieu Sea Cadets would love to welcome new members! Cadets meet every Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. at the school. It’s a great opportunity for youth to build skills, make friends, and get involved in their community. - Code of Conduct
This year, we have introduced an updated Code of Conduct. Please make sure you review this with your child(ren): Code of Conduct - School Allergies
Please be aware that certain foods are prohibited at school due to severe allergies. We have students who may require an EpiPen if exposed to the listed allergens. There are also people at the school with scent allergies, so please be mindful of this. - Cannabis and Smoke Free Policy
Please note Baccalieu Collegiate and the District support a Tobacco, Cannabis, Smoke and Smokeless Free Policy. This policy also prohibits clothing that promotes these products. District Policy Document - Doorways
Doorways School Counselling Program is back at Baccalieu Collegiate. They visit every Wednesday. Please see their letter, which discusses the consent to treatment for counsellors. School DoorWays Program Letter - Baccalieu Collegiate Updates Submission
