NEW FOR 2021-2022 COURSE SELECTIONS - SECONDARY STUDENTS
Course selections will be completed electronically this year.
Students transitioning from grade 8 to grade 9 have already had a virtual visit to their classroom from Mrs. Winter to go over what a student needs to graduate and how to complete their course selection sheets. She will visit again in the coming weeks. All completed and signed course selection sheets are to be emailed to Ms. Summers in the Guidance Office. (cassandra.summers@ucdsb.on.ca) Below are links to the documents that were discussed with the grade 8 students and a copy of the grade 9 course selection sheet.

We would also like to extend an invitation to all parents/guardians and grade 8 students in the community to attend our Grade 8 Virtual Open House on Wed. Feb. 3, 2021 @ 6:30 pm. The MS Teams meeting link can be found on the School News page of this website in the Calendar of Events.
Students who will be entering grade 10, 11 and 12 next year will be hearing from the guidance office through their school email as to when the course selection process will begin for them and will receive instructions. A link to the course selection sheet by grade will also be provided here. All course selection sheets should be emailed to Ms. Summers (cassandra.summers@ucdsb.on.ca)
Students can start to prepare by making sure they are able to log in to "myblueprint/ucdsb"
