An Invitation to Meet the Teacher Night
Thursday, February 9, 2012 6:30 pm – 8:40 pm
You are invited to attend our “Meet the Teacher Night” Thursday, February 9th. Parents/Guardians will rotate through their son’s/daughter’s schedule, learn about their courses and meet the teachers. This evening provides an opportunity for staff and parents to establish a line of communication which will benefit our students. Students are most successful when the home and the school work in partnership. Together we can make a difference.
Although timetables will be available, we encourage you to speak with your daughter or son and write down their class and teacher information on the schedule below. If you have this information with you, it will not be necessary to wait in line for a copy of their timetable.
6:30 – 7:00 Student timetable pick-up – Lower Foyer
7:00 – 7:15 Remarks – from Administration and School Council – Auditorium

This fun and upbeat musical tells the story of Ren McCormack who has moved from Chicago to Beaumont, a small town under the spiritual watch of the powerful Reverand Moore. Ren soon discovers that, because of a car accident 5 years earlier that claimed the lives of 4 Beaumont teens, Reverend Moore has banned all forms of dancing in Beaumont. Ren’s conflict with the Reverend is exacerbated by Ren’s blossoming relationship with Moore’s daughter, Ariel. In the tradition of feel good musicals, the teens of Beaumont end up putting aside their differences and band together to challenge the no dancing by-law.

The Earl of March gr. 11 Personal Fitness class trained hard for 6 gruelling weeks. In total the class ran 96.5 km in training plus the 10k race itself which results in over 100 k of running. They persevered through some adverse weather to train first thing in the morning. The post race enthusiasm was great with parents and family cheering us on. Way to go class.

Google Accounts for Students
The OCDSB has created a domain for Earl of March Secondary School. The domain allows students and staff to collaborate and use Google Applications for educational purposes. Accounts for every student and staff member have been created. This account provides students access to office software (word processing, spreadsheet, presentation), image editing software, calendaring utilities, web site creation utilities, bibliography software and much more. In addition, teachers are beginning to create course-related web sites.
Students can begin using their accounts by logging in with an account that is very similar to their school computer account. For example, if a student has student number S0987654321 and school login password of 1234567 then their google account is: .ca and their password is ST1234567 (case sensitive). See the example below.
If your account doesn’t work, then, come and see Mr. Jackson.

Parents, guardians, all members of the Earl of March community come out to our meetings and events. The School Council is a terrific forum to learn all about what’s happening at Earl of March and contribute your ideas. You’ll get to know the principal, hear from teachers and students, and meet others who share your concern for the education and well-being of the students.
We generally meet on the third Monday evening of each month during the school year, from 7 to 9 PM in the school library (2nd floor). The snacks and refreshments are free.
We look forward to meeting you!
