It is time for grade 12 students to start thinking about the next school year. A transcript sign up sheet is available to indicate where graduates would like their transcripts sent for next year’s studies. Please check the bursary board for new arrivals regarding financial aid for next year. For more details on this or other grad issues, contact Mr. Donovan in Student Services
Career Cruising:
Career Cruising (
www.careercruising.com) is a new web based career exploration program for grades 7 - 12. We encourage parents to use this resource with their sons/daughters at home. Simply go to the website and enter the username and password for Three Oaks (Three Oaks, Axemen). Students must first contact Mrs. Reeves, Mr. Donovan or Mrs. Keough to acquire a personal log in and password to access their personal profile.
Career Cruising has been designed with one goal in mind: To help students plan their futures. Some of the assessment tools include: matching interests and skills to careers, descriptions of hundreds of careers, interviews of people in careers, options for searching, links between education and careers, information on post secondary education and other options.
With these type of assessment tools, profiles, and post secondary information, parents and students can easily move through the career exploration and planning process.
Late Policy:
Three Oaks has introduced a new late policy scheduled to begin the first day of the second semester. The following is the policy:
A "Late" is defined as entering a class following the late bell or being unprepared for class and unable to return with the necessary materials before the second bell which begins class (late bell). A "late" is excused if a note is presented regarding a special appointment or a school sponsored activity.
If a student shows up late, the subject teach will inform them they are late and record it. When a student reaches their 3rd late, the student will be assigned a 10 minute detention with the subject teacher. If a 4th, 5th or 6th late should occur, the student will be assigned a 30 minute detention to be served at lunchtime in the detention room. For each late after 6, a student will be assigned a one hour detention to be served over two lunch hours in the detention room.
Students must bring material with them to work on to be admitted to the detention room. There will be no food or drink allowed in the detention room.
Minor Basketball:
Three Oaks Minor Basketball is scheduled to begin Tuesday, March 24th at 6:30 p.m. Instruction and games take place at Parkside and Three Oaks. Team lists will be printed in the Journal.
