CVR's Senior Send-Off 2020 - An Insta-Adieu to say Farewell
 | I've been telling you all along that GRAD AND PROM are not cancelled, just postponed. The CVR staff and community have made a commitment to honour the accomplishments of the Class of 2020 as soon as it is safe to do so, sometime in the fall probably. We are discussing what these would look like, but no decisions have been made, so please don't listen to any gossip or rumors going around town. In the meantime, CVR staff have wanted to do something to send you off in style. So we have planned a last day at school of sorts. It's a Senior Send-Off on July 4th from 1-6. This is a mini-celebration for you to say a proper goodbye to the school and staff, along with a few surprises up our sleeves. Told ya we were up to something! See the invitation left and note to students explaining the details. Once you book your time slot by the deadline, you will then get an email with more details about how to proceed on the day and a few things we have in store for you! Due to public health guidelines there's a cap of 10 students per 30-minute appointment. So you can plan your attendance and your group of 10 accordingly. I really hope you'll be able to join us so we can see your faces again! Register here by Friday, June 26, 2020. |
Final Marks
The Minister has clarified a few things. For grade 11 the following is true for now:
Term 3 'marks' will read as one of the following comments: successful, not successful, or not evaluated (NE) per competency per subject. This comment has no mathematical weight. Final marks will be represented as a % grade, calculated as follows: Term 1 counts for 40% and term 2 counts for 60%. The teacher will use what you did from February to March 12, and anything you did in these last 5 weeks which were evaluated, plus anything you did between March 12 and May 11 which was optional and not evaluated. Then, the teacher, using their professional judgment, will determine the final overall grade and express it as a % mark. Both term 3 comment and final mark will be on your final school report card accessible on the portal by mid-July or so.
Ministry report cards will be sent out in late July. Right now they will transform your final % grade into a comment: either successful or not successful.
For now, this is what we know and are working toward. If it changes, you'll be informed.

Goodbye for now
Well we've reached the end of the school year. It definitely was not the year end any of us had planned, but there is some comfort in the fact that it is over. This will be the final official weekly check-in/update, as classes end on the 23rd. You may get the odd information from the office, but this will be my sign off. It has been a singular pleasure getting to know and work with you all this year. You are a very special group of people.
Bad news for me: Sons of Anarchy is only on Netflix Canada for season 1. AARGH. But I found another crime procedural set in Scotland called Shetland which I am enjoying. For some reason, I've been on a crime procedural bender for the last couple of years. Maybe it's that everything gets wrapped up? There's a satisfaction to that I must need in my life somehow. That's for Dr.Phil to figure out! At any rate, there's nothing like a Scottish accent! I did see a turtle the other day, so She-Ron (which Ms. Hardy tells me is probably a crane) and He-Ron have some company. There's also a cute family of little duckies hanging out in the marsh. But the turtle sighting is new. I need to name him - Tootle? Shellie? Slo-Poke? Hmm.
I hope that you are taking the time to appreciate your surroundings, and are looking forward to the summer and next year and the new adventures open to you. Now that some limits on gatherings and businesses are opening up, I hope you'll find yourselves getting out there again (safely), not being too afraid of it, and resuming life as we knew it one small step at a time. I've never appreciated my routine so much as when it was gone. But I don't want to be afraid of it starting up again in September either. This is a delicate balance indeed.
And with that I say my in-print goodbye for the year:
