Please read the attached document for information about PE 8, PE 9 and Accelerated Math 8/9/10 being offered outside the timetable.
“Outside the Timetable” means that students will not be scheduled into a face-to-face class. They will have a free block every second day at either the beginning or end of the day depending on the course. During this free block there will be no supervision or space for the student so the student must make arrangements to be picked up,

PE 8/9 “Outside the Timetable”
For the 2013/14 school year we are offering students in Grades 8 & 9 the opportunity to take PE outside of the timetable. Students who do this will not be at school for either Block A or Block D every second day. (This will depend on scheduling.)
This course is good for students who are active outside of the school already. It’s also good for students who are not as interested in traditional PE classes.
Upcoming Dates
Wed. May 29th – 6:30 pm – Orientation Night for future grade 7 students and grade 9 students from Upper Pine….followed by Dessert Night
Wed. May 29th – 7:00-8:00 pm – Dessert Night – for students and families
