Hello everyone!
We hope you all are feeling healthy.
This week we will be switching learning platforms away from our blog and in to D2L Brightspace. This is where we will be doing all of our remote learning for the foreseeable future. Each week your Math & Science tasks will be posted in D2L in the order you need to complete them. These tasks can also be found in the content tab. While you are working through each task, teachers will be available at different times through Google Meet for you to ask questions. The "nickname" for the tutorial will be posted in the announcements section 5 minutes before the tutorial starts. The one hour start times for grade 9 tutorials this week are as follows:
Math 9/Science 9 Monday (12pm, 1pm, or 2pm)
Wednesday (9am, 10am, 11am)
Wednesday (9am, 10am, 11am)
Please take a look at this D2L tutorial video that we have created to help you get to know D2L a bit better!
This week we will continue on with Polynomials & Environmental Chemistry.
Please email your teacher if you are having any trouble logging on to D2L or getting in to your Math shell or Science shell.
