September DPA Printable Logs due next week!

Gr. 11 and 12 students... if you are not enrolled in a PE or Dance elective class right now, then your DPA logs for September are due next week! If you are logging online, just keep it up. I will approve your first term record near the end of November. If you are using the printable logs, then please get those in by Friday next week. An October printable calendar is available here (link to the right), or you can pick up a paper copy in the Career Centre.

Active Health 10 Project Updates

Some of you are very, very close to completing the "Personal Health Plan" portion of your Graduation Transitions Portfolio. I have copies of many Active Health 10 projects in my office. These are the projects you completed as part of your PE 10 class two years ago. All you need to do is pick up your project from me, complete a cover sheet detailing how your health plans have (or have not) changed over the past two years, and then re-submit the package to me. Once I have received the project, with updated cover page, this aspect of your portfolio may be checked off!

Grade 12 Assembly

If you were not able to attend the Grade 12 assembly held last Thursday, last block, please come see me to pick up your PURPLE PACKAGE of information.  It contains everything you need to know about the Graduation Transitions program.

If you attended the assembly, and you have questions or need clarification on anything, please come see me this week in the Career Centre, or email me: Jenifer.Barsky@sd41.bc.ca. 

Remember that all of you should be logging your DPA minutes this month, unless you are enrolled in and passing a PE or Dance class.

Active Health 10 and Career Research 10 Projects

If you are a current grade 12 student, you probably completed an Active Health 10 project when you were in P.E. 10, as well as a Career Research Project when you were in Planning 10.  Those projects can actually be used to fulfil part of your Graduation Transitions Portfolio requirements.  So... dig those out, and bring them in to Ms. Barsky in the Career Centre.  I will file these in your folder for you, until the end of this school year.

September 2013 Daily Physical Activity (DPA) Tracking

All grade 11 and 12 students should already be tracking September Daily Physical Activity (DPA) minutes.  If you are still in summer mode, and have not yet begun logging your time, it's not too late!  There are two options for you to log your DPA:

1. Online: go to http://www.learnnowbc.ca and set up an account (if you are a new user) or continue to log 

               your minutes using the online program.  Ms. Barsky has online access to your account, so if you 

               maintain your log, she will know you have completed your DPA requirements. 

2. Manually: pick up a September 2013 paper calendar from the Career Centre or download a copy (link is 

                   at the side) and keep it in your binder or on your wall at home.  Write down your DPA minutes 

                   all month long and then submit the completed month's calendar to Ms. Barsky in the Career 

                   Centre.

Either method of DPA tracking is acceptable, as long as you are completing your activity and recording it!  If you are currently enrolled in, and passing, a Senior PE class or Senior Dance class, you do not need to record your DPA.  Your teacher will submit your mark to Ms. Barsky and your DPA requirement will be fulfilled that way.  Please see Ms. Barsky in the Career Centre if you have any questions regarding your DPA.
