Symmes – D’Arcy McGee Update – 1/19/24

Dear Families,

I hope you are doing well.

Here is some information for this week:

Catch-Up Plan

• As you may have heard in the media, the Province has provided some funding to support students who may require additional academic support following the recent teacher strike
• We are developing our plan and will be offering this support to students who are at risk of failing or are at risk of not obtaining a necessary credit(s) for graduation
• We will reach out to families directly in a separate email next week for identified at risk students

Grade 7 & 8 Promotion Policy

• Please see the attached promotion policy for Symmes students
• Please note that D’Arcy students are promoted by course and not by grade – for example, if they fail grade 9 math, they may be required to repeat just this course

Graduation Photos – Make Up Date

• If your graduating child was absent during photo day, please access the following link to book a timeslot on February 19^th:
