The time has come for the annual Parent-Teacher Interviews. I've just this afternoon got the memo about how to sign up and I've attached it here in both photo and downloadable form. Key info:
1. Sessions will happen like last year with one afternoon session and one evening session.
2. Families can sign up for a maximum of 4 teachers at first, and then more will become available as spots permit closer to the date.
3. The event date is Thursday, November 7th and will happen in the cafeteria and auditorium, as per usual.

Every year many of the post-secondary institutions invite counsellors to come learn about their updated admission requirements, new programs, and tell us what's new and great. This year SFU (who presented last week) shared their slides that has a bunch of information about admission. I think it's really valuable, so I'm sharing it out here. It speaks to the importance of grade 11 marks, more so than ever starting next year. This is also in line with what UBC was saying when they presented the week before.

Not sure if they want this info out to everyone, but I always want to share good info with my students and families! Scroll through below or download the whole thing at the bottom of this post. Cheers.

In the 3+ years that I've been at Van Tech Secondary, I think this presentation has been the one that has grabbed the students the most. And just like two years ago, we're bringing back Darren Lore, more commonly known as "The White Hatter".

Whether you've seen him before or never before, come see him present! It's quite captivating and he'll be doing a special show we've set up just for parents. It's in the Van Tech auditorium! See the poster for details. And bring your phone!
