Grade 8 students looking ahead to grade 9 might be interested in participating in summer learning. In Upper Grand, we offer two main options:

Reach Ahead Credits = credits offered to Grade 8 students in the summer before they enter grade 9 so they can get a feel for high school while earning their first credit toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. *Students use their myBlueprint Accounts to register for these courses.

Summer Skills Upgrading - Literacy and Numeracy Support = An 8-day non-credit program intended for students whose achievement of expectations in Grade 6, 7 or 8 Language and/or Mathematics indicates that they would benefit from additional supports in their transition to secondary courses. *If you believe this might be a good fit, talk to your elementary school administrator.

All information is shared via the Continuing Education website, the Pathways Website on the 7/8 Transitions page and through elementary schools. 

Students must commit to daily attendance in order to be successful in these programs.

Students graduating from grade 8 and looking ahead to grade 9 can get a start on their community involvement hours as early as July 1. Elementary schools will share introductory information with students and caregivers to support this. 

Parents/caregivers can learn more by:

1. Going to the UGDSB website - community involvement hours page
2. Reviewing the Community Involvement Hours Guide

Students must ensure that the volunteerism they engage in is on the eligible activities list as per the guide. They must keep a record of hours to submit to their secondary guidance team. If you have any questions - reach out to the secondary school that your child is planning to attend.
