Summer Programs for Current Grade 8s

Families of BG Grade 8s,
Please review the following information regarding summer programs that are being offered through CCE.

Programs include:

Summer SKILL BUILDER Programs – Non-Credit:
Summer Literacy and Numeracy Skill Builder Programs – these programs are available to students in current Grades 6 & 7 (Elementary) and current Grades 8-12 (Secondary). The purpose of these programs is to enrich and develop Literacy and Numeracy skills and to assist students with fluency on our new platforms including the HUB and MS Teams. There is also a Fractions program as well as interest based Art & Literacy and Coding & Numeracy programs offered. These programs will include a 2-hour real time/synchronous online lesson each day and fun activities for the students to complete beyond the lesson time. One week sessions are offered all summer long and students may register more than once.

Grade 9 Orientation Program – The format this year will look different but registration is still required. Orientation will run from 10 am to noon on Aug 31st and Sept 1st. Depending on what restrictions are still in place at this time, orientation will either be virtual with both an asynchronous and synchronous portion OR if possible students will come into the building. This program is designed to help students feel more comfortable and prepared for grade 9.

These courses will run on-line.
