This newsletter is presented by the District Student Leadership Team. We are a group of students within the district who work collaboratively to act as a bridge between you, the students, and district administration. We want to keep students informed on what is going on in the school district during these difficult times.<\/p><p>As students, we recognize and understand the concerns and stress that students are feeling around our education and COVID-19. We created this newsletter to ease some of your stress and answer some <strong>commonly asked questions<\/strong>. We hope that you are all practicing <strong>personal hygiene<\/strong> and <strong>social distancing<\/strong>, as it not only protects you, but others in the community (especially those with immunodeficiencies).<\/p><p><strong>During this week<\/strong>, your teachers will be contacting you and your families, so please check your <strong>emails<\/strong> frequently! Learning opportunities are being put in place as soon as possible. Teachers are currently working very hard in the process of organizing online learning platforms and methods of communication.<\/p><p>We acknowledge that while COVID-19 is affecting all SD46 students, <strong>grade 12s<\/strong> are in an especially unique situation. As everyone should be social distancing, all <strong>graduation events<\/strong> have been <strong>postponed<\/strong> for the <strong>foreseeable future<\/strong>. Staff and students are exploring <strong>alternate possibilities<\/strong> for graduation celebrations. We have yet to figure out what will happen in June, but in light of all this uncertainty, let\u2019s stay positive, patient, and hopeful.<\/p><p><strong>Ministry of Education Announcements:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Every student will receive a final mark, and all students who are on track to move to the next grade will do so in the fall.<\/li><li>For grades 10 and 11 students, graduation assessments that were scheduled for April will be postponed.<\/li><li>Every student eligible to graduate from Grade 12 will graduate.<strong> <br \/><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Student Questions (FAQs)<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Will school go into the summer?<\/strong><\/p><p>It is very unlikely and there are no plans for this.<\/p><p><strong>What will happen to our marks? <\/strong><\/p><p>Students in Grades <strong>8<\/strong> and <strong>9<\/strong> will <strong>not<\/strong> get a report card mark in Term 3 but will get a final mark in June. This mark will be a summative assessment of the work completed from September to June which includes from now until June. This time counts! \u00a0Students in Grades <strong>10-12<\/strong> will receive a mark and a work habit.<\/p><p><strong>How will this year\u2019s marks be weighed in consideration for post-secondary applications?<\/strong><\/p><p>Check university websites for how they will address COVID-19. However, it is universally understood that they will look up until your term 3 marks. It is important to check <strong>individual<\/strong> <strong>university<\/strong> websites as their policies may differ.<\/p><p><strong>When will we get report cards?<\/strong><\/p><p>By April 22<sup>nd<\/sup>, all marks will be posted into Myed by our teachers and most will be posted by April 25th<\/p><p><strong>How do I get my stuff from school?<\/strong><\/p><p>Principals are currently working on scheduling students to pick up their things. This will look different for each school so please be aware of emails from your principals.<\/p><p><strong>Will video classes be on zoom? If so how will it be done?<\/strong><\/p><p>Not all classes will be on Zoom. Each class\u2019 teaching depends on individual teachers. If your teacher is planning on using Zoom, they will contact you with a date, time, and meeting ID. You do not need the Zoom app, however, it might be easier to have.<\/p><p>We hope you and your families stay safe and healthy. <strong>Please stay home and wash your hands!<\/strong><\/p><p>Sincerely,<\/p><p>The District Student Leadership<\/p><p><strong>For more information visit<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/sd46.bc.ca\/\">https:\/\/sd46.bc.ca\/<\/a><\/p><p><strong>Have a question?
