GUIDELINES TO COMPLETING GRAD TRANSITIONS – @ SOUTH DELTA SECONDARY

 All students must complete the required Ministry of Education course, Graduation Transitions 12, worth four (4) credits in order to receive the Dogwood Certification of High School Graduation from British Columbia.

Grad transitions (GT) advisors will be visiting all grade 12s in their scheduled English 12 classes to track the students’ progress.  Following the timeline laid out in the Grad Transitions booklet available on our school website (http://sd.deltasd.bc.ca/content/grad-transitions), Grade 12 students will have completed this required course by November 14, 2018.  However, we encourage all grade 12s to work on the contents during this summer vacation with the aim of completing it before September.

Everyone must have a half-inch binder in which to put their printed copy of the Graduation Transitions booklet and the completed answers for each section.  Everything must be typed.  Photocopies of supporting documents must be included in the binder.  Using sheet protectors to contain these copies is a good idea.

Remember to collect all required signatures on the required pages (DPA, counsellor review of credits, work experience or community service verification, parent signature page).  You will also need to book an appointment with Ms. Foster, Career Advisor, to discuss your plan and you will also need to get her signature.

On September 24^th and 25^th, your GT advisor will be visiting classes to track your progress as Part I and II of the package are due on that date.  Part III is due October 5^th and Parts IV is due October 29 and 30^th.  Exit interviews with one of the GT advisors will take place November 13^th and 14^th.  All grade 12s must be prepared with Grad Transitions binder and be able to articulate post-graduation plans.

Both the grad boat cruise and the grad Christmas dance ticket sales will be permitted to those students who have met the required deadlines.
