In addition, congratulations to Maya Allen, the runner-up, and all the other students who competed!

Welcome back- I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are now 2+ weeks into Term 2. Please remember to update grades in iPass at least every two weeks. Here is the exam schedule for the end of the term 2/semester 1. Let us know if you have questions about the schedule before I share it with students and families on Friday.  As discussed in department meetings before the break, please discuss any new course proposals with your liaison prior to December 6. The Program of Studies updates are due on December 20. Here is the December menu  for the cafeteria. Have an amazing week.
