Student Support Days
January 29th and 30th are designated as Student Support Days. The intention behind these days is to provide supported opportunities for students to improve their academic standing. During the month of January, teachers will discuss academic goals with students and support them with goal setting and a plan to achieve their goals.
Pink Shirt Day
The 91探花app is pleased to offer Pink Shirts.
91探花app recognizes both Pink Shirt Day (Feb. 26, 2025) and International Day of Pink (April 9, 2025).
Shirts are $10 each and will be delivered to the schools before Feb. 26, 2025.
This year, we are making the shirt ordering process even easier thanks to SchoolCash. Please use the Guest Checkout option (even if you have an account with SchoolCash set up). You will then be able to pay using a credit or debit card directly through SchoolCash. Use to order yours today! Orders are due by Jan. 29, 2025.
Special Language Credits
If students read, write and speak in a language other than English or French, they can earn a maximum of four high school credits by writing the Special Language Credit Option Examinations.

This year’s spring exams will happen on Monday, March 24th and Tuesday, March 25th 2025 in the evenings at Dakota Collegiate.
