Open House Details - August 9th
We will allow for a wide array of hours 8-10 in the morning and 4 -7 in the evening. It is critical that you sign up to help for this event, as personalization takes a lot of man power!
If you work the 4-7 portion of the day you will not need to come into school until 11 that day. If you work both sessions you can flex the extra 3 hours during the workdays as you need - just discuss this with Mrs. Williams.
Sign up here for the role you would like to fill!
Wear your Yellow True North Champion shirts on Open House day!
Setting Up Gradebooks
Use this guide if you have year long classes.
Mrs. Williams can go into Powerschool and check your work when you have completed this task. We will check all gradebooks on August 12th for completion of the set up process. If you need assistance please reach out to Mrs. Williams
