At this time of year, students are busy starting up a new semester and taking part in the variety of extra-curricular opportunities offered at our school. Students in Grade 10 are concentrating on the upcoming Literacy Test. At the same time, one of our most important academic activities is taking place - choosing next year's course of study.
 

Our Student Services department will be putting on a parent information night on Thursday, February 21 at 7:00 p.m. for parents of students in Gr. 9 - 11 to help with the wide spectrum of choices available. As well, counsellors will be visiting classes to discuss in detail the course calendar with students.
 

I would also like to draw your attention to our school website: www2.kpr.edu.on.ca/acvi which has a wealth of information about our school and also has some great research sites such as search.epnet.com which is an excellent tool for students doing research projects.
 

Winter Break is March 8 - 15^th inclusive. Have a safe and happy holiday!
 

As always, please do not hesitate to call me with any concerns or compliments you may have about our school.
 

Gr. 10's!! It's EQAO time...again! On Thursday, February 14 and Friday, February 15, you'll be completing the province-wide Reading and Writing test. Your attendance is mandatory. Don't forget to get a good night's sleep! Please note: The test will go on, even if it's a snow day. Under the direction of the Ministry, there will not be a re-write day. Tests not completed on February 14^th and 15^th must be written in October. Good Luck!

Dare to Dance is a stage adaptation of the popular 1987 film Dirty Dancing. The storyline is much the same; however, (and let me assure you) all the "dirty dancing" aspects from the film have been eliminated. We do have a Jennifer Grey and a Patrick Swayze look-alike! The story, which takes place in the Catskills in 1963 focuses on how stereotypes often wrongly label individuals of misconduct. It also stresses the importance of individuality and respect for all, regardless of social status. The music is early 1960's - similar to the film - and very upbeat, lending itself to fabulous dance sequences. The show is fast paced, uplifting, and full of fun - one that I believe both students and staff will greatly enjoy.
