Completion Day Friday, May 8
Completion days are an opportunity for students to catch-up, re-learn, re-assess or enrich their learning. Because learning happens over time, and students need time to receive feedback and implement it in order to meet the outcomes in the programs of study, completion days are an important tool to ensure students are up to date in their learning. We have a regular timetable and students will stay with their mentor except to access teachers during their regular instruction period. ALL CT CENTRE students are still REQUIRED to attend their CTC classes on this day.
Friday, May 8 will be our last completion day this semester. This completion day is especially important for our graduating students who are still in the yellow or red. Once completion day has passed, any work that was due prior to that day will be suspended in order for students to focus on current learning going forward. Parents and students can view current grades, feedback and missing work in PowerSchool. If you do not have a MyCBE account, on the MyCBE page click on Create a MyCBE Account. For online help refer, to MyCBE - Creating an Account (includes instructions and a video). Please take some time to review your child's PowerSchool grades prior to completion day. If you have questions about completion day, please reach out to your child's mentor.
Students will be given a completion day planner by their mentors on Monday. They will need to review their PowerSchool grades and feedback, and work with their teachers and mentor to determine priorities for the day. Any students taking CALM online with Phil or Kate will be required to attend unless they have completed at all of their assignments in CALM.
