Voice Mail- Saturday October 22 2011
Good morning. This is Mr. Lariviere Head of Guidance and Career Education at St. Michael C.S.S. This message is specifically for the parents of Grade 11 students interested in applying to community college next year and also for all of our parents of Grade 9 students.
Next Tuesday October 25 , the Ontario College Fair will be held at the Direct Energy Building at Exhibition Place in Toronto from 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. We are strongly recommending that you attend this event with your sons and daughters to get a heads-up on the College Programs available in Ontario. You will meet admissions reps who will answer questions about program descriptions, admissions requirements, residence, scholarships and financial aid. This event is a must as you prepare to invest in the futures of your sons and daughters. Additional information is available on the school web-site.
If you are a parent of a Grade 9 student, you need to know that all of our Grade 9 students attended mini-assemblies this past Wednesday and Thursday to receive information about the Take Our Kids to Work Program that is coming up on Wednesday November 2. Over 200,000 grade 9 students across Canada will be spending a day at work, job shadowing a parent, relative or close family friend. The students will then do a follow-up activity which will be part of their Grade 10 Career Studies Program next year. Please read over the information sheets your sons and daughters brought home this week and discuss the program with them. Could you also complete the Consent Form and return it to the attention of your sons’ and daughters’ Homeroom Teacher by Friday October 28. Additional information is available on the school web-site.
See you at the Football games this afternoon at Robert F. Hall starting at 12:00 p.m. Go Thunder!!!
