To Parents of SOSS Students
Please be advised of the following:
As it is still uncertain as to when the labour negotiations between the BC teachers and the provincial government will be resolved, it now becomes uncertain as to whether school will start on Sept. 2nd. Counsellors are scheduled to meet with new registrations and take course change requests on the 28th and 29th of August, but these dates are also up in the air. If a settlement has not been reached by early next week, SOSS will publish a revised press release in the media and on our website as to what parents may expect for the start of the school year. Ideally there would be more information to provide at this time for parents and students but is presently all we know.
For updates and current information regarding school opening, please be sure to check media outlets,
SOSS school website ( soss.sd53.bc.ca/3/home or the
School District Website – www.sd53.bc.ca )
The school office will be open August 18th-22nd from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm. We ask that any students that may not have returned textbooks in June to please return them this week. Also, any students that may have removed locks from their lockers in June are also asked to return those locks to the office. Locks are the property of the school and are provided to students with their locker rental fee.
Students are asked to bring their fees for the first day of school. Please refer to the letter sent in July or call the school if you have any questions.
If you are a new registration to SOSS, please try to contact the office before 3:00 pm, Friday August 22nd, to arrange to meet with Mrs. Harrington.
Grads are reminded that Dogwoods, textbook refunds, grad photos and Passport to Education booklets may also be picked up at this time. Students wishing to claim their scholarships may also do this now.
Students wishing to make course changes must complete a ‘course change request form’ available in the main office.
For a ‘suggested’ supply list, please refer to our website.
