Last Days of Semester II

We are entering the Summative/Exam Review portion of the year.
Parents are invited to attend the ENG2D Book Festival Summative on
Wednesday June 16th at 2:00pm.
The classes will be receiving instructions about their final examination
and submitting their final Summative projects; these two items total
30% of their final grade and therefore, it is important that time be put
into completing the assignment and studying for the exam.

Enjoy your Summer.
