Good Afternoon
Please review the important information below.
Course Changes
We have finalized all course change requests from students at this time. No other course changes will be permitted at this time unless it is deemed necessary and approved by administration.
Technology Agreement and Social Media Consent Forms
Gonzaga will be using the NLSchools RYCOR system for schools to be able to make forms available to be completed online by parents.
For more information on this system please go here.
We are asking all parents to complete the two following forms online through the Rycor system for each child:
Acceptable Use of Technology Form 24/25
Social Media Consent Form 24/25
Parents must use their own Parent PowerSchool account and not their child’s PowerSchool account in order to complete the online forms.
Loran Scholarship
Please note, the Loran Scholarship deadline is October 15th, 2024. Applications are available online here and if you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Tracy Gardiner at tracyanngardiner@nlesd.ca.
Grade 12 Instructional Support Classes
Certain grade 12 students have Instructional Support classes in their schedules. These are free periods designed for study and preparation for their courses. Students are asked to go to the LRC or leave the building if they have permission to do so. Students are NOT permitted to remain on school grounds due to supervision concerns. If you are a parent/guardian of a Grade 12 student with a free period, please complete the following form if you give your child permission to leave school grounds.
Athletics
We are working hard to schedule all tryouts and will be announcing tryouts and sign ups according to the sport competitions schedules. Thank you for your patience while we work through all the teams and practice location bookings. Interested athletes must sign up using the link in the bio of our social media accounts in order to attend tryouts https://linktr.ee/gonzagaathletics. Stay tuned to our social media for all athletic updates!
