Student Lockers- Coming for Quad 2 (Nov. 16th)!
Starting Nov. 16th for Quadmester 2, students at St. Thomas Aquinas will be allowed the use of a student locker. Lockers remain the property of St. Thomas Aquinas and students are responsible for keeping their locker neat and tidy.
Students have been assigned INDIVIDUAL lockers that will appear at the top of their schedule/timetable. Quad 2 timetables will be sent out to student email accounts prior to the start of Quad 2. Students will not be allowed to switch or share lockers.
Locks are available for purchase via School Cash Online (https://schoolcashonline.com/) for $10.00 starting Tuesday Nov. 2nd. Students should take a screen shot or print out their receipt for the purchase and bring the receipt to the School Library to pick up their lock from Nov. 3 to Nov. 11th during the last 15 minutes of the student lunch periods.
If students choose to use their own lock, they will have to provide the combination to their homeroom teacher. Locks not issued by the school may need to be cut off if the school needs access to the locker.
Quad 2 Textbook/Learning Materials Return and Pick-Up: ONLINE/COHORT C STUDENTS ONLY
**UPDATE: Semester 3 Textbook Pick-up for ONLINE/COHORT C students:
- Pick-up will take place on TUES. FEB. 8th from 2:30-3:30 from the outside of the STAFF ROOM through the windows (North-West corner of the building mid-way between the BLUE and YELLOW doors). Please see SIGNS posted on the doors.
- LAST CHANCE TO PICK UP COHORT C (ONLINE STUDENT) TEXTBOOKS FROM THE MAIN OFFICE- Friday Feb. 11 8:30-2:00. ANY BOOKS NOT PICKED UP BY TOMORROW will be returned to classroom teachers. Students who missed the pick-up times for textbooks will have to try to make arrangements with their CLASSROOM TEACHERS directly as there will be no more general distribution times.
Attention Grade 12s
It has been very challenging for our grade 12 students transitioning back into high school and preparing for post-secondary/workplace. Aquinas support services staff would like to provide series of workshops based on the student voice survey.
Please take the time to complete the survey that will help us have a better idea of your needs.
Deadline to submit your response is November 5, 2021. Click on the poster below for the survey.
