Jan. 26th, 2012 – Details for next week (Jan 30th)
Dear Parents / Guardians,
As students are finishing up exams today and tomorrow, we thought we’d let you know the plan for students next week:
- Monday January 30th is Turn-Around Day – there is no school for students. For students who are interested in knowing how they did on their exams and/or finding out their marks for Semester 1, they can drop in to speak with their teacher(s) between 2-3pm (by appointment only).
- Tuesday January 31st is the first day of classes for 2nd semester. Classes begin at 9:30am and it is a shortened day. The morning will consist of 20 minute classes and students will be dismissed before the lunch hour.
- Wednesday February 1st is a regular school day (9:30 am to 3:45 pm).
- Thursday February 2nd is a Voices Schedule therefore, school will end at 2:25pm.
- Friday February 3rd is a regular school day (9:30 am to 3:45 pm).
If you have any questions about next week, please call The Academy at (416) 928-0124 ext “0”.

Jan. 13th, 2012 – Ability in Action Workshop
On Friday January 13 😉 the Gr.11 Health Care (TPJ3M) and Gr.10 Healthy Active Living (PPL2O) classes trekked out to Scarborough in the snow to participate in “Ability in Action, a workshop delivered by Variety Village. The workshop exposed students to various assistive equipment, adapted sports and the rigors of using a wheelchair. Academy staff and students left with a broader understanding of accessibility and great respect for wheelchair basketball (the hardest sport we’ve attempted so far). Thanks Variety Village for hosting us!
