Good afternoon Colonel Irvine School Community.
下午好! 学文学校社区
We hope students and families enjoyed the fall break this past week.
November 27-28 we will be hosting Parent/guardian –Teacher conferences. Teachers will be sending an email to all parents/guardians to see whether they feel an interview is needed at this time. This year we will hold one in-person evening interview session Thursday, November 27th and an online conference on Friday, November 28th. Bookings will open on Saturday, November 22nd at 8 am and will remain open for you to book until November 27 at noon. They are on a first come, first serve basis. For more details on how to book conferences next week.
This year there will not be a wrestling team due to the shortened schedule. The divisional meet was to be held this year on December 9th or 10th. We felt that there was not adequate time to train our student athletes for this season.
Lastly, we will be having our next school council meeting at 6:30 on Tuesday, November 18th. It will be online.
Thank you for your continued support,
Ms. Ko and Mr. Ferguson

High School (Grade 9’s)
We will be meeting with all Grade 9 students to talk to them about high school. We are starting to plan for high school transitions. This will be ongoing between now and the start of March. We will put all information related to high school transitions in this section moving forward. If you have a student in grade 9, please check this information regularly.
This week we are sharing with our grade 9’s the importance of the first semester report card marks. Their marks will determine what courses they can select for high school. These sessions will give a brief overview of what you can expect over the next few months with regards to getting ready for high school, and will also provide time for Q&A.
In the meantime, the CBE High School website is a great place to start to learn about high school information. You may also wish to visit the individual high schools’ websites.
High School Open Houses
Students from our school will transition to more than 10 different high schools. Open houses and tours usually start in mid-November and continue through January.
We will post tour dates and open houses here as we are notified of them. You can also visit high school websites for more information.
