5. School Activities Many activities have been planned throughout the school year which you are encouraged to attend. You are required to attend at least one school activity sometime in the semester. You are welcome to attend them all though! Your $25 school fee covers the cost for most of the activities, however, there are some that you must pay for separately such as skiing. The $25 fee is not refundable. Most of the activities take place on Fridays and generally take place once per week. You will be informed of the activities through your TA. A list of tentative dates for the activities has been posted on the PE homepage.

6. Activity Record Please refer to your activity record now. This was emailed to you on the first day of school. You may also download it from the discussion board. What is the Activity Record? The Activity Record is a document that you must complete and send to me every two weeks. Due dates are posted on the course calendar. Checked by your Key Parent who then emails it to me from their email account. This validates the contents.
