*Note: Summer hours are intended to allow students to drop off work and to write tests.  We will not be starting students on new courses and new registrants will not be taken at this time. 

Moodle Access Over the Summer
Students who are taking online courses can still access them through Moodle over the summer.  Please be aware that over the summer the school district technology department will be resetting student passwords.  We have requested that they do not reset ConnectED student passwords.  If your password is reset in error you will not be able to access Moodle.  If this occurs please contact the School Board office at (250)770-7700 and ask to speak to someone in District Technology Support.

Student Space on the School District Computer Network
Over the summer the school district technology department will be cleaning out (ie deleting) elementary and middle school student space on the district’s computer network.  Students are responsible for backing up any important files that they have on the system.

Registration
A reminder that all students in grades K – 9 who plan to return to ConnectED / Home Learners' in the fall need to register again with the school.  The registration form can be downloaded from our website: http://67connected.ca/wp/contact-us/registration/


August Provincial Exams
Students may write provincial exams during the August session if they have completed the coursework for their course.  Exams will be written at Penticton Secondary School.  Students must bring a piece of ID with them as well as their term 4 report card.  The term 4 report will indicate that you are registered in the provincially examinable course and it has your Provincial Education Number or PEN which is needed to write the exams.  Below is the schedule for the exams.  Contact Mr. Todd Manuel if you have any questions; tmanuel@summer.com or (250)770-7750.
