Just a reminder to parents that semester one ended Friday, January 17^th. Semester two will begin on Monday, January 27th. The first day of semester two is a regular school day.

As we no longer print class schedules, students will need to know their new schedule prior to coming to school on Monday, January 27^th. Students can access their schedules by logging into their MyEducation account, clicking the “My Info” top tab, then the “Current Schedule” side tab. This will show a list of all classes, including which period the class is. This information is particularly important for grade 8 students as they have not been through this process before. Information has been put in the student bulletin and instruction sheets have been posted around the school.

We have attached instructions for parents to view their child’s schedule. However, please note that the parent view does not show which period the class is being held. Therefore, it is essential that students log into their own account to access this information.

As the semester is coming to an end, here are a few things to know.

Numeracy and Literacy exams will be held Monday January 20th – Thursday January 23rd. Schedules for students writing the exams have been posted in the school since December.  Please refer to the previous post about this online, if you would like to see the digital schedule.

During this week, throughout the morning, all teachers will be available to support students with learning. Classrooms will be open.

Teachers may also invite students to finish any missing work/assignments from Semester 1.

In the afternoons, from Monday to Thursday, Burnaby Central will offer Open Learning Sessions for all students. Please see the options on the schedule below.  Students should clarify with the teacher of a specific session if no Room Number is listed.

On Friday, January 24th 2020, teachers will be preparing for Semester 2; Friday is the Semester Turnaround Day.

FOR AN APPLICATION: PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS LINK.

Applications for the 2020-21 year are due on Thursday, April 2^nd.  Interviews will be scheduled later in the month.

We have arranged for the immunizations to take place on Wednesday February 12^th and Thursday February 13^th – full day in the library.  Please see the attached letter for more information.

To our Burnaby Central Community, due to the intermittent weather, we will be rescheduling our OPEN HOUSE evening from tonight, to Wednesday January 29th. We hope that by changing the date, all community members will be able to attend this awesome evening that showcases all that Burnaby Central has to offer next year.  The details of the events will remain the same (6pm to 8pm).

Please dress warmly, drive or walk with care and give yourself extra time to get there. If you feel your student can’t travel safely to school, please report their absence as you normally would.
