W.C. Miller Collegiate

     Summer 2024                 

1. The final report cards for the 2023-2024 school year have been posted to the PowerSchool Student and Parent Portal. 
   A reminder to grade 12 parents/guardians to access these files now before the school year is closed out in early July.

2. Draft schedules for the 2024-25 school year have been posted to the PowerSchool Portal (Parent & Student). While we try our best to schedule students for all of the classes they requested, it is not always possible.  We have ensured that each student has the required courses and electives to create an appropriate schedule for each semester.  In Grade 11 and 12 course alternates have been used when necessary for English and Phys. Ed.
   To access the draft schedule:
   Log in to your PowerSchool Parent/Student Portal account on a web browser (not using the app).
   Select “My Schedule” from the menu on the left-hand side
   Click on the Next Year Schedule tab along the top of the page
   Use the pull-down menu box to choose to view Semester 1 2024-2025 and/or Semester 2 2024-2025. Alternate schedule views will be available through PowerSchool in late August. 

3. Schedules for our 2024-25 Grade 9 students will be mailed in early July. 

4. If your child would like to request a course change, please have them make the request online using the form available at https://forms.office.com/r/FSinezYd1W prior to August 21. This link will also be available on the homepage of our website.
   If they would prefer to discuss course changes in person, the school will be open on Wednesday, August 28^th and Thursday, August 29^th from 9am-12pm and 1-3pm.  These can be busy days and changes are processed on a first come, first served basis. Course change requests are only granted as the schedule allows.  

5. Wednesday, September 4th will be the first day of school for Grade 9 students only. Thursday, September 5th is the first day of school for Grade 10-12. RRTVA Semester 1 students will have their first day of school on Friday, September 6th. 

6. There is no list of required school supplies for W.C. Miller Collegiate.  We ask that students bring something to store their notes in, such as a binder, and pens and/or pencils.  A calculator is also helpful for math although the school will have some available.  Separate gym clothes and shoes are needed for Physical Education classes.
   
   
7. Locker sign up will take place on the first day of school.  Students are required to share a locker and should select a locker partner prior to the start of the school year if possible.
   
   

8. Picture Day is September 12^th. All students will have the opportunity to have an individual photo taken through LifeTouch with retakes scheduled on November 5^th.

9. Thursday, September 19^th, we will host our annual Meet the Teacher evening at 7pm.  All parents and students are welcome to attend.  Parents of Grade 9 students will be walked through a shortened version of their child’s schedule, allowing them to meet teachers and learn about their courses.
