By Rosalind Russell – Parents/guardians and students in Grades 7 and 8 are invited to an interactive information session with the Rainbow District School Board, which is designed to help students make decisions in moving from elementary to secondary.
The board will present Next Stop: Grade 9 on Tuesday, November 12th, from 7 pm to 8:30 pm in the Student Life Centre at Cambrian College in Sudbury.
Director of Education Bruce Bourget says the information session will focus on changes and choices for students entering high school including how to read timetables, course and program selection, easing into a new school environment, skills for academic success, resources and helpful tips.
He adds attendees can also speak with staff about programs such as Co-operative Education, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, Dual Credits and Specialist High Skills Majors.
A Guide on Finding Your Way from Grade 8 to Grade 9 will be distributed to students and parents/guardians at the information session.
An accessible version of the Guide is also available at rainbowschools.ca.
