We made it! We are in the homestretch and June is here! The end of May and beginning of June are usually the busiest time for us, as it is reporting time. Please refer to Carolyn’s email with the subject titled: “June 2023 - CLB Reporting Period” which gives details about proficiency lists, and step by step instructions for how to submit progress reports and conference summaries. If you have any questions during this process, don’t hesitate to reach out to Marina or myself.
Please remember to check out the updates from our resident expert Danielle for the latest news on Avenue.
Though June marks the end of the school year for many of us, many students will be continuing to summer classes. Before that, there's still a lot to talk about ahead of summer. Some popular topics of discussion are, summertime leisure activities, travelling, and tourist attractions in Ontario. Some other special days in June are: National Health and Fitness Day June 4th, National Gardening Exercise Day June 8th, National Best Friends Day June 8 and National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 18th which is also Father’s Day!
