Summer School 2022
Please see the attached PowerPoint presentation for
important information about summer school. We have prepared this presentation
to ensure students are able to make an informed decision about requesting a
summer school class. This PowerPoint is a review of the information shared with
students during our Summer School meeting at lunch today.
In order to request a summer school course, students
must complete the Microsoft form located at the end of the attached PowerPoint.
The form will direct students to choose online with CBe-learn, or in person
with Chinook Learning Services. Students
can choose to take one class only in the summer. CBe-learn does not offer
diploma classes, so students wishing to take a diploma class online should go to https://www.alberta.ca/online-learning.aspxo
for online summer school options.
High School 101
Thank you to all of the students and parents who were able to attend our in person High School 101 last night. We hope families enjoyed the band concerts at their junior highs as well. As we know that it was not possible for everyone to attend our High School 101 in person, we also had a group of our Churchill students diligently working on a video version of High School 101. We are excited to share this video done by our students in hopes of helping to ease students’ transition to Sir Winston Churchill High School next year. Please see the video link below. We look forward to seeing you in the fall. Welcome to the Churchill community!
