Hopefully your family got to take advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend! We have a four day week this week with lots of learning planned!
This week is support staff appreciation week. In the Spirits of Belonging and Generosity, we want to express our gratitude to Jodi, (hallway) Tracey, Jacquie, Tina and our facility operator, Mary. We are SO GRATEFUL to benefit from their contributions to our community and the care and support they give to our students every day.
June Assessment Schedule and Summer School
June is fast approaching! The last day of formal classes is June 9. Diploma exams start on June 10 and run through until June 23. Final marks are due June 19. Most grade 10 & 11 exams will be administered during classes except Science 24. Please find attached the June Assessment Schedule for you to print and post on your fridge. It is also available on our website under Teaching and Learning -> Exam Schedule. Email your mentor if you have questions.
Any students who want to take a Summer School class need to discuss with their mentors this week. Summer School requests are submitted on May 1 by Alternative High School on behalf of students. Summer School is available in-person or online. Only students who are committed to the time requirement and expectations of Summer School should apply. More information is available on Chinook Learning Website.
A reminder that Alberta Education dictates the rules and conditions for diploma exams. Students are given multiple opportunities to practice exams on the digital platform for ELA and Social, and to write similar format exams in Math and Science. The rules for diploma exams are not flexible. This document outlines the rules. Please encourage your teen to review them.

Please consider ordering your bedding out plants or planters from Alternative High School to support the graduating class. You can view and order your beautiful bedding out plants at our Alti Spring Plant Fundraiser Website. Deadline to order is April 28. Plants will be delivered to the school on May 13&14, just in time for Mother's Day!
