Transition to Highschool

 

"HOW CAN I HELP MY CHILD

You and your Grade 6 children are invited to an information session about making the Transition to High School a successful one.

Tuesday, May 8 - Edgewater, 220 boul. Cardinal-Leger, Pincourt

Or

Tuesday, May 15 - Wilder Penfield, 551 Westminster, DDO

Or

Tuesday, May 22 - Children's World Academy, 2241 rue Menard, LaSalle

All sessions will commence at 7:00 p.m.

Your children have almost completed their Elementary School career. In a few short months they will be embarking on a new and exciting journey, called High School. Grade 6 students are happy, yet anxious about this new stage in their lives. Parents are nervous about the new responsibilities their children will be experiencing.

You and your children will learn strategies and skills that will help them succeed in High School. As they become teenagers, the students will learn that they have the power to thrive, if they choose to. Time management skills and studying techniques will be some of the many topics discussed.

We are looking forward to seeing you and your Grade 6 child(ren). Please RSVP by sending an email with your name, child's name and school name to cpc-events@bell.net

This event is sponsored by your Regional Parents' Committees and presented by Sharon Klar from Bartimaeus Inc.

Advocating for Your Child in the School System:

A Toolbox for Parents

Parents are natural advocates for their children. When a child has special needs, the need to

play an active role in planning your child’s education is a vital component for success. This

presentation will offer information on how to accomplish successful advocacy with

understanding, compassion and awareness. The importance of nurturing and caring for ourselves

as parents of children with special needs will also be discussed.

Peace on the Internet

Being a good digital citizen means not writing inappropriate things on the internet.

Being a good digital citizen means writing respectful messages.

The internet is for everyone to share and make sure that you use appropriate websites.  Wait until you are old enough to use Facebook.

Always be respectful and kind and use technology well.
