Parent Volunteers Needed

All parents of grads -- We are still in need of parent volunteers for the banquet and dry grad activities.  If you are able to help out on Friday, June 10th, please send an email to:  sahaligrad2011@gmail.com.
The more help that there is, the better these activities will be for your grads.

Banquet / Dry Grad Fee

The banquet and Dry Grad fee has been established at $140.  If a grad is attending the banquet only, the fee is $40.

The fee is due between May 25 - 27, 2011, along with the contract that all grads and their parents are required to sign.  There will be a grad table at the school with parent volunteers who will collect the fees & contract.

Meeting for Grads - May 24

There will be a meeting for all grads on May 24th during school to review final details for the banquet and dry grad activities.  All grads will receive a handout of the activities as well as a contract that must be signed by each grad and their parents.  The contract and banquet/dry grad fee is to be returned to the school by the end of that week.  Grads who do not return the contract or pay their fee will not be able to participate in the banquet or dry grad on June 10th.

New Venue for Dry Grad

The Dry Grad on Friday, June 10th has been moved from Memorial Arena to the Gymnasium at Thompson Rivers University.

Message from Mr. McMain re: transcripts

Grade 12s should be selecting which schools (post secondary institutions) will receive their transcript. Directions for doing so are on the Sa-Hali website. The URL is http://sahali.sd73.bc.ca/file.php/1/counselling/Directions-for-ordering-transcripts-for-PSIs.pdf

If you are unsuccessful, please see your counsellor. It is an important process; please make the time to complete it. If for no other reason, graduates should sign up as it saves them money; money that they won't have to pay in August or September when it will cost ~$10.00 per transcript.
