It’s hard to believe we have reached the end of unit 1 already! We have had a busy start to the school year. A big thank from the students and teachers to the parent volunteers of the Inter-A Student Society who provided a delicious pizza lunch during the first week of school to welcome students back to Inter-A.
Report Card
The unit 1 report card for the courses your son or daughter had from September 4th to October 18th in enclosed. It shows a separate page for each class your son or daughter had in unit one. Students in grades 7, 8, 9, and 10 will have a total of six report pages: Math, Science or Humanities, PE, Visual Arts, French, Health & Career Ed or Planning 10. Students in grade 11 and 12 will have five to seven pages depending on their course load.
Please sign and date the envelope to indicate you have seen your son’s or daughter’s report card, and ask your son or daughter to return the envelope to his or her homeroom teacher.
Fundraising
The Inter-A Student’s Society, run by our parent volunteers, has organized two fundraisers to support the program. Please look in your child’s report card envelope for the order forms.
The first is a Gift Card purchase fundraiser. The gift cards are available from a wide variety of merchants and services. The order form and information page are on goldenrod paper. The orders and payment, cheques made payable to the Inter-A Student’s Society need to be returned to school by November 13th.
The second is a Purdy’s Chocolates fundraiser. These are always popular treats. The order form is white and there are red brochures included. Please return one order form and one cheque for all orders, made payable to the Inter-A Student’s Society by November 13th.
The gift cards and chocolates will be available for pick up at School at Night on November 29th.
Multicultural Day October 24 – Diwali
A very hard working group of students organized an excellent set of seminars about the festival of Diwali. Their peers were treated to great presentations. The day ended with a fantastic group event, “So You Think You Can Bhangra”, which provided great entertainment for everyone.
Parent Meetings
If you have any questions or concerns about your son or daughter’s progress, at any time during the school year, please phone the school at 604 588 6934 and leave a message for Ms. Veto or any of the Inter-A teachers. You can also leave a message on our message line, 604 587 7373. We will be happy to schedule a meeting time with you and your son or daughter to discuss his or her progress.
Important Dates:
- November 7, 2007 Grade 9 Take Your Kids to Work Day: Grade 9 students, who have returned their permission forms, will be participating in this national event where students spend a day job shadowing a family member to see what a day at work is all about.
- November 21, 2007 Post Secondary Information Day: Grade 12 students will have the opportunity to see presentations from various post-secondary institutions. Seminars will take place throughout the day.
- November 29, 2007 Inter-A School at Night! This is Inter-A’s annual opportunity for parents to see what their son or daughter does at school. Students will attend school starting at 3:00pm and running until 8:00 pm. The altered schedule gives parents the opportunity to observe their child without having to take time off work. An exciting idea for this year’s school at night is an “Are You Smarter than an Inter-A Student?” type event. We need parent volunteers willing to participate in order to make the event successful. If you are interested please call us at the school.
- November 30, 2007 Professional Development Day: Students will not be in session at school as teachers will be attending professional development workshops.
Inter-A Teaching Team: Anthony Jay, Kathy Richardson, Pauline Veto, Chris Wakelin, Melanie Skelin, Sheila Dhaliwal, Roger Blenman
This year marks another successful School at Night. The evening began with a few normal classes and then moved on to some special activities. The first was the presentation of the Famous Photograph projects, which were very well received.
