Gr 8 Transition Information

Parents of Grade 8 students, EMCS staff will be working with our classes over the next few weeks to prepare and enter course selection forms. Here is a little more information on the process this year:

• Updated course selection information and step-by-step instructions can be found on the EMCS website at:
  https://emcs.web.sd62.bc.ca/counselling-centre/course-selection/current-grade-8-students-course-selection/
• Teachers will watch this video with their classes by January 26th  (also available on the website link above)
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTvBKhuUz4
• Students have been mailed a course selection package that includes a Course Planning Sheet (also available on the website link above)
• Please have Grade 8 students plan their course requests on the Course Planning Sheets and submit the sheets to their Gr. 8 teachers by January 27. 
  • That way the teachers can look over the courses students are planning to request, and make recommendations regarding any changes as necessary.

When EMCS staff members visit Grade 8 classes on Jan. 31 / Feb. 1, they will have the teacher return the Course Planning Sheets to students and will assist students with logging in to the MyEdBC Student Portal and entering their course requests into the system.

***If your child is in French Immersion and is not planning on staying in French Immersion at EMCS, please put this on your course selection form to let the counsellors know.
