********** 

Principal’s Report May 2014 

1.  Timetabling for the 2014-2015 school year is complete. We are looking at handing out timetables in early June, and completing any timetable changes needed prior to end of June. Timetable changes will only be considered if a student has been unsuccessful in a course.
 
2.  Springfield Collegiate Academic Recognition – The PAC requested that we look at our current criteria for recognition, the staff has engaged in conversation and we would like to
share our draft with you for possible feedback. 

3. Staff of SCI would like to extend a huge THANK YOU for the wonderful luncheon provided for us in May. For many it was the first time they received that type of recognition and truly felt appreciated by our Parent community.
