Happy
2022, Everyone!
The
Transition Team has been busy at work, preparing to welcome our 2022-23 grade
9s to Bear Creek Secondary School. Below you will find our overview and
plan for helping your students transition to high school. We ask that you
please forward this information to all grade 8 teachers, students and
parents.
GOALS
Our
goal is to create a smooth and effective transition for our grade 8s as they
move into their new role as Grade 9 students at Bear Creek.
Obviously, this year has called on us to do things a little differently,
so we've included some information below.
PLAN
Google
Classroom - Sheena McRae (SALT) has created a great platform for teachers,
students and parents to access important information about coming to high
school. In the Google Classroom, you will find information about the
Grade 9 course selection process and department videos in the Guidance tab
(January 14th) and throughout the coming months you'll see tours of
Bear Creek, important tips and tricks about high school from Link
Leaders, as well as dates for live Q&A sessions.
The
Google Classroom code is: bx5ob4g

Please ensure
that this class code is communicated to each and every grade 8 student, both in
school and remote, who will be attending Bear Creek in September.
Also,
please note that a slide presentation will be pinned to the top of the Google
Classroom to support navigating the Classroom and future transition plans.
