Please also provide the adult with a list of all your extra-curricular activities here at school and in the community, along with dates, timelines and your role in those activities.
Graduating students- are you thinking of applying to post-secondary schools outside of Ontario or outside of Canada? The ACS Student Services team recommends you research now to determine due dates for applying to their schools.

A reminder to all students- if you need to talk to your guidance counsellor, please come to Student Services and sign up in your counsellor's book in to make an appointment.
Are you having trouble reading and writing in class? You’re not alone. More than 1 million children in Canada are currently reading and writing below their grade-level.

Children’s stories, novels, biographies, comics, and all other books are welcome! If you are personally in need of reading, or writing support, try ACS' Prefect services, or contact the library!
