COURSE CHANGES

Students wishing to make a course change can make the request to Administration within the first cycle of each semester. After consultation with the student and with parental approval, the administration will either deny or approve the request based on its validity and availability of space. All course changes require parent/guardian, teacher, and administration approval.

All requests for course changes must be completed by using the "Course Change Request Forms" that are available at the office.

The deadline for “dropping courses” or voluntary withdrawal is November 30 or April 30, after midterm reports are received. Students who stop attending a course after this date will receive a mark of zero on all remaining evaluations, and a cumulative final mark will be issued.

LOCKERS

Lockers and locks will be provided to all students at the beginning of the year. In order to use the school's lockers, students must keep the locker locked at all times. No student will receive a locker if they refuse to keep it clean and locked.

The year end cleaning of lockers is the responsibility of the student. Failure to do so will result in a $5 fee assessed against the caution fee.

Valuables missing from lockers will not be the responsibility of the school.

Locker Search : Lockers are the property of the school and can be searched at any time.

PARKING

Student parking is limited to the assigned spaces in the student parking areas. Student vehicles that are parked in teacher assigned, visitor, or non-parking zones will be towed. Towing costs will be the responsibility of the student.
Armitage Avenue is a NO PARKING zone.
