*Grade 8 Message
Earlier this week, some grade 8 students (and families) were sent an email regarding a course request appeal opportunity. This email was only sent to those who indicated an interest in taking an honors course in grade 9 but did not receive a recommendation for one. This is a reminder that the deadline to submit an appeal is this Sunday. Please see that email for more details. If you originally requested an honors class and are no longer interested, no action needs to be taken.
Have a great weekend!
