On instagram we have a school account with all the latest news. Follow us @epslancers.

Exam Schedule

Our exam schedule is out and ready. It is linked here Exam Schedule. Administration will be reviewing exam protocols with students on Friday, December 15. Should your child have a conflict within the exam schedule, please have them make an appointment with Ms Malayko to explore solutions.

Music Update

Congratulations to our Choir and Grade 10 Band on an incredibly successful time out at Camp Kindle this week. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we were able to take part in a number of outdoor pursuits in addition to all the musical adventures and rehearsals.

Jazz Band: All Jazz students spent their “day off” on Friday digging into the music and expanding their knowledge and skill sets over at MRU on Friday. A huge thank you to John Roggensack and MRU for making this a reality. Speaking of MRU, our second of three CADME All Ages Jams will take place this coming Friday, Dec 1 (7:00 – 9:00 PM) at their Nickle Theatre.

Shout out to Mori B and Maura L who were part of a select 12-student ensemble that worked with JazzDanmark’s Jazz Camp for Girls workshop this weekend. It is the first time this Danish organization has traveled to Canada, and we are very proud to have had Scarlett represented at this amazing event.

As mentioned, all of our students are working diligently in preparation for out Winter Celebration Concert scheduled for December 6 at the gorgeous Bella Concert Hall. Thanks in advance for your support of this event. Tickets are now live, and available through their website: https://tickets.mru.ca/Scarlett

Quoi de neuf en immersion? / What's new in French Immersion?

Cette semaine, un représentant du programme Explore a visité plusieurs classes d'immersion française. Ce programme offre aux élèves l'opportunité d'être complètement immergés dans la culture francophone dans une région francophone du Canada. La durée de la visite est généralement de 5 semaines pour les élèves de Scarlett. Si vous êtes intéressés par le programme, veuillez suivre le lien Explore et contacter directement le coordinateur, Keegan Shalla.

De plus, nous vous enverrons des informations concernant l'examen DELF et l'examen AP de français au cours du deuxième semestre. Plusieurs élèves ont posé des questions sur ces deux examens, des informations seront publiées dans ce bulletin au mois de janvier et dans les annonces de l'école au mois de février lorsque nous serons plus proches d'une date pour les deux examens.

Merci! L’équipe d'immersion française
