Students grade 8 to 11 will be selecting their courses for the school year 2023-24 on January 16 – 18th. Why so early? We need to start the process this early in order to do all the hiring by the end of June. First we build the timetable based on student choice of electives and then we start the posting of jobs and hiring process.
To see the course calendars go to https://ls.schools.sd68.bc.ca/ and see them under the Students & Parents tab – course planning guides.
Literacy and Numeracy assessment
January 23rd to 26th students from grade 10 to 12 will write the Literacy and Numeracy assessment. This is a Provincial assessment and all student on the Dogwood (regular graduation track) need to write a Literacy 10 and 12 along with Numeracy 10 assessment. If a student is writing the family has been notified and the student has received a letter. Most students that have English 10, 12 or a math 10 course this semester wrote the assessment in November. Just students that missed this past session will be writing. Students that take English 10, 12 or a math 10 courses in semester 2 will write in April.

This Week at LSS - Jan 6th
Hi LSS Family
Did you have a good break? There was not a lot of bike riding outside for me but do not worry I will make it up this weekend.
First semester ends January 27th but the last day of classes are the 26th. Students that still need to complete work to be successful will be contacted by their teacher and asked to come in on the 27th. The new semester starts Monday, January 30th
Schedules for second semester will be given out January, 23rd at lunch and then students will have an opportunity to make course changes for the rest of that week. Now remember, not all changes are possible as many classes are full.
A First Peoples course is now a requirement for graduation. What course do SD 68 schools use to ensure students meet this requirement? Students take English First Peoples in grade 10 and our present grade 11s will take English First Peoples 12 next year.
Course selection for our current grade 8 – 11 students will occur January, 16 to 18th. Make sure you are at school. Students can get ready by making sure they can log into their student MyEd account as course selection in online. To view course calendars, check out our school website and look under the tab “Parents and Students” https://ls.schools.sd68.bc.ca/
