GRAD TRIPS Each year, private companies that organize Grad Trips distribute forms to students to promote high school Grad Trips. The wording of these promotional materials and letters is designed to sound as though the trip is being organized by the school. Please note that the administration and staff of Unionville High School has not organized nor does it sanction any Graduation related trips. Trips organized in celebration of Graduation or Prom, including all transportation arrangements, have been externally organized. School staff has not been involved in the planning and will not be supervising or participating in these events. These events are not sanctioned by the school and no staff have been involved in the planning of them. If you have any questions, please contact one of the Vice Principals. DRESS CODE As the weather gets warmer we would like to remind all students and parents that students will be asked to change or may be sent home to change their clothing if they are not dressed appropriately. The following information comes from the student agenda book. The York Region District School Board believes that school is a place of learning and, to be successful, students must focus their attention and energy on school related matters. For this reason, it is important that students dress appropriately for the task of learning. Clothing which demonstrates respect for self and others is expected at all times. Appropriate dress is in effect while at school, on field trips, and during any other school related activities or events. For example: a) Language or graphics on clothing will not display provocative, obscene, sexist or racist slogans, or refer to drugs, alcohol, smoking or sex. Clothing which contravenes the Human Rights Code in any way is unacceptable. b) Students will not wear clothing to school that is revealing or provocative. Midriffs and undergarments will remain covered at all times and shorts will be mid thigh in length. Tube tops, halter tops, and other tops with narrow shoulder straps or spaghetti straps are unacceptable. c) Clothing and accessories/paraphernalia depicting violence or death or that identify or promote cults or gangs are unacceptable. d) For obvious safety reasons, shoes must be worn at all times. EXAM SCHEDULE Grade 12 exams will begin Monday, June 17 and Tuesday, June 18. Please note that all Grade 9, 10 and 11 students are expected to attend their regular classes on these two days. The remainder of exams will be held during the regular exam period (June 19 25). Student are reminded, as stated in our school policy, that there are no early leaves during examination week. Students must schedule vacations, camp activities, etc. outside of the examination period. Everyone must write his or her exams on the scheduled date. The exam schedule will be distributed to students, and posted on the UHS website, by the end of next week. 3
