Monday

Imagination Studio –lunch in the Project Room

Dragon’s Den Creative Writing Club at lunch in the main lab

Tuesday

Culture Club today in the Kitchen at lunch. Everyone is invited to check out what we’re all about.

Exploratory #2 – Forms go home today and should be returned by Thursday (hopefully this extension will give families time to have both custodial parents an opportunity to sign waiver forms needed on some exploratory choices)

Encourage your child to try something different from last Exploratory by going over the form with them.

Bring only money for your number one choice (not all three).

Cheques made out to SD62 (NOT JOURNEY).

All forms must come to the office – NOT the classroom teacher

Employees of SD62 cannot be witnesses

Remind your child that getting forms in on time usually translates into a greater chance of getting an Exploratory of their choice

Exploratory #2 begins Thursday, January 14
