AP Calculus Class Speaker Series
Following the AP Calculus exam on May 4, the students in the Calculus class were surveyed about mathematical concepts that were of interest to them. In addition, they were also asked if they would be interested enough in a topic to research it and present to the class. The curriculum for the four weeks that followed was built on the results of this survey. Topics were taught by either the course teacher, Mrs. Sayegh, an invited guest lecturer (via Zoom), or one of the students themselves. Read more.
Morning exams begin at 8:30 AM and afternoon exams begin at 1:00 PM.
Student Exam Protocol: Please review the Student Exam Protocol.

2021-22 Educational Services Contract: Each year, parents are required to complete an Educational Services Contract which is legally required by the Quebec Ministry of Education. This contract confirms your son’s enrollment in the school, allows you to verify the information we have on file, and lets you choose your payment method for the 2021-2022 academic year. The online contract is accessible through OnCampus, and we ask that BOTH parents/ guardians log in separately to complete it. You will also find the Emergency Contact Form and Medical Update Form in OnCampus once you log in. Only one parent/guardian is required to review and submit each form. Please email Ms. Kelli Poulin poulink@selwyn.ca if you have any questions.
Please take the time to read the important changes to the health and safety guidelines regarding COVID-19. The chart in this document is an excellent resource to follow.
