The end of the quadmester is fast approaching! Here’s what you need to know:

We will be replacing the afternoon online learning sessions with in-school credit rescue, beginning Thursday, Nov. 12. If you are at risk of failing a course, you can come in by appointment and we’ll help you get caught up.

On the following dates, there will be no online classes or attendance taken: November 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, and 19. In-school classes will continue as usual until Nov. 17th (the official last day of Quad 1). Report cards will be sent home Nov. 26th.

To book a time for credit rescue, email your teacher.

If you’re struggling, don’t wait for the last minute. We’re here to help!

Quad 2 Online Registration is now open! We’re accepting new students, so if you know you want to join us, sign up today!

Not sure what we’re about? Come to our virtual open house on Thursday, Nov. 12. We’re offering two sessions: 5-5:30 pm and 6-6:30 pm. We’ll be holding it over Zoom. The meeting ID is 368 003 4191, passcode 835396.

The last day to drop a course and have it not show up on your transcript is Oct. 26th. Talk to Berardo if this applies to you!

Award-winning author Catherynne M. Valente will be visiting SOLE—virtually, of course—on Oct. 7th during the 2:15-3:30 online class. All SOLE students and staff are invited! Just log into your regular Google Classroom for the link to the talk. You won’t want to miss it!

Catherynne M. Valente is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of forty books of fantasy and science fiction. She lives on a small island off the coast of Maine with her partner, one medium-sized dog, one very enormous cat, a baby son slightly less enormous than the cat (for now), a red accordion, an uncompleted master’s degree, a roomful of yarn, a spinning wheel with ulterior motives, a cupboard of jam and pickles, a bookshelf full of folktales, an industrial torch, an Oxford English Dictionary, and a DSL connection.

September 30th is Orange Shirt Day, which recognizes the victims and survivors of the residential school system, and the legacy of racism, colonialism, and genocide against the Indigenous peoples of the land that we currently call Canada. You can read more about the story of Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, a survivor of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School (1891-1981) and the inspiration behind Orange Shirt Day, here.

We encourage everyone to wear an orange shirt on September 30th to mourn the victims, fight for justice for the survivors, and to reaffirm that every child matters.

Please join us for the first official Fantastic Friday tomorrow.

To be marked present:

1. Make sure your Out of School Component is completed. Ask your teacher if you’re not sure what it is!
2. At 11 am, log into Google Meet with your TDSB student account and look for the meeting called solefriday.

See you there!
