The Huron Expositor, 1999-01-27, Page 6arum HURON exPostroR. January 27, 1696 St. Anne's preparing for second semester We are one week closer to the end of semester one and the exam cycle. I encourage students to continue their studies in preparation for their examinations. The students need to take time to respond to classroom reviews and to discuss with their teachers, issues that still remain confusing from their studies. I have been out at various elementary schools in the Huron Perth Catholic District School Board with Mr. Craig, the Head of Student Services, to discuss with the students and parents a variety of issues that are important. •The next event is our orientation day at St. Anne's. All Grade 8 students will be invited to come to the school and spend the morning in sessions related to various subjects taught in grade nine, followed by a lunch in our cafeteria. Orientation day is Feb. 2 in the morning. This Monday we had our Grade 8 parents' night for students who plan to attend St. Anne's in Grade 9 next year. This article was not puhlished last week as we were unable to get it out due to the school closures. The parents who were unable to attend the meeting should contact the school if they have any concerns or questions. This is the last week of semester one and exams begin today, Jan. 27. Students should check their schedules carefully to be sure they are present for all their exams. Students should be sure they know their" section number so that they can easily find in which classroom they will be writing. Next semester we hope to adopt a simpler way of scheduling exams. Parents should check the February newsletter for more information on this scheduling process. The next newsletter and calendar is due out the first day of Semester 2, February 4. Note: If we must close the school during exams, the day we close will be moved to the end of the exam schedule cycle. We will not shift the entire schedule by one day. Philip J.
