Fulton is in full swing, and lot of activities are happening. Orange Shirt Day was well recognized at Fulton. Students learned about the 94 calls to action of the TRC. They learned which calls have been started and which have not.
This year all grade 10 and 11 English classes will focus on indigenous learning. The government has made taking an indigenous-focused course a new graduation requirement. The requirement is mandatory for this year’s grade 11 students.
Our FREE breakfast program has begun. Each morning from 7:45 – 8:20 volunteers work hard at providing a healthy breakfast to all our Fulton students. Please encourage your children to stop by the cafeteria for breakfast.
Fees
If you haven’t done so already, please pay your child’s student fees. If you are sending a cheque, please write your child’s name and the reason for the payment on the memo line of the cheque. All unpaid fees or lost book fees from previous years are overdue. Please see Mrs. Redl in the office if you have any questions about school fees. Fees can be paid online and, of course, cash and checks are accepted.
Mid-Course Reports
All students will be receiving a mid-course report on November 21. In Grades 8 and 9, a proficiency level will be reported on the scale of Emerging-Developing-Proficient-Extending. The comment will let you know what your Fulton student can do and what they can work on to improve their learning. Grade 10-12 students will receive a letter grade and a comment that explains what they are able to do and areas of continued development.

Numeracy and Literacy Assessments
Students in BC must complete three assessments as part of the graduation program. Students will take the Numeracy 10 assessment and the Literacy 10 assessment in grade 10. Students will also need to take the Literacy 12 assessment in grade 12. We have just completed the first sitting of these assessments. Make up sessions will take place the week of January 23rd, 2023. If you have a grade 12 student is very important to check that they have completed the 2 grade 10 assessments and are scheduled to complete their grade 12 assessment with their English Studies 12 class. Students can check with their counselor to ensure they have met these requirements.
