GRADES 9-12 COURSE CHANGE INFORMATION

Due to Covid-19 challenges, there will be limited course changes allowed for Octomester 1. These changes must be made before you attend school.

Here’s what you need to do:
1. Please check your timetable in EDSBY, the video showing how to do this is posted on our social media and website, before contacting us.
2. If you need a course change for Octomester 1 please email Mrs. Perrault – Ann.Perrault@nearnorthschools.ca OR Mrs. Bedard – Carla.Bedard@nearnorthschools.ca ASAP to have these done BEFORE you attend school this week.

We will do our best to accommodate, but priority will be given to necessary changes. An example of a permitted course change would be if you took Civics/Careers at Summer School and need to replace that course. Priority will be given to adjusting Octomester 1.
