However student registration on the CXC system, student subject choice and recommendations and preparation of payment slips cannot be completed until the students supply the requisite information. As early as the start of the term, students have continuously been asked to provide their subject list and birth certificates (to ensure accurate information is entered). Those who have not done so are hereby urgently asked to submit the information to Mr Myers, their Year Heads or their homeroom teachers without further delay.

Continuous Assessment This Term
As is stands, we will not be having conventional end of term exams this terms. As such, teachers as are asked to continue pursue all avenues at their disposal to reach as many students as possible. Students for their par must make the required effort effort to complete as many exercises and assessments as possible.
It has been noticed some students do have the means to access online classes and resources based on their login status but have chosen to do no work. This is unacceptable. The cooperation of parents will be needed to to address this issue.
