Hello!

Every year the Delta School District offers students from any district around Vancouver to challenge language courses for which they already have a pretty good degree of fluency. This is a great way to get some credits towards graduation for a skill you may already have! The list of courses they offer isn't exhaustive, but there are many. Keep in mind, this should be for a course you're not currently taking. You do get an assigned mark (based on oral and written fluency) and it will go on your transcript.

November 5th is the cutoff for getting packages in to me, but earlier is better.
The tests are in late January each year.

I've attached the booklet below for download and printing.

Any interested student should come see me :)
Mr Van.

Massive thanks to Ms Kauldher and the admin team for all their work on creating this new FIT.

Here's my overview video: https://youtu.be/stT315OuX30
​Here's where students can sign up for 'Student Choice' sessions: ​https://vantech.myweeklyplanner.net/

Looking forward to seeing people connect in cool new ways.

Remember, here's the order of how it roles out across the calendar...
Week 1 (first full week of school and every third week after): Block 1 and 3 extensions.
Week 2 (second full week of school and every third after): Block 2 and 4 extensions.
Week 3 (third full week of school and every third after): Student Choice (signed up through the website above).

Hey everyone,

Amazing turnout for yesterday's event. We figured about 260 students and between 150 and 200 caregivers. Was great to get to meet so many of you. Forgive me if I need a bit longer with names :) I know some people wanted to see the PPT again and some people who were out of town or unavailable wanted to see it too, so here it is.

Remember that first day of school will be Wednesday, September 8th for the students, as staff have a anti-racism in-service day on Tuesday. Grade 8s come in at 1 PM and it will last an hour. At the end, they'll be able to hang around school for a bit to pick out a locker (Grade 8s only this day).

Also, check out administration's video about first day HERE.
And a newsletter will be coming out tomorrow too.

​Cheers, Nick Van.
