VIRTUAL PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIEWS

Evening of Thursday, May 5, 2022.

Dear Jarvis Families:

We hope that you are well. Students received their midterm report cards on May 2nd.

Communication between families and Jarvis Collegiate staff is an important part of your child’s education, and we look forward to formal opportunities when parents and guardians can meet with teachers to discuss their progress.

Mid-semester Parent-Teacher Interviews will take place virtually. Please join us for our Parent/Teacher Interview Evening on Thursday, May 5th for virtual interviews from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. We hope that you will be able to schedule interviews during one of these times. We encourage you to bring your child to the interview.

Once again, virtual interviews can be booked on-line: Jarvis School Appointments Online. Bookings will open on Monday, May 2 at noon and close on Thursday, May 5 at noon.

Please review your child’s semester 2 timetable to determine the names of teachers for scheduling your family’s appointments. Also, the appointment booking site is available in many languages using the menu on the top right. Full instructions on how to book appointments are available in the attached document.

In order to facilitate your visit, teachers will have access to Over the Phone Interpreters using MCIS Language Solutions. Interpreters are available for translation in the following languages: Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Farsi, Punjabi, Cantonese, Tamil, Korean, Vietnamese, in addition to other languages. If you require translation in another language or any other assistance, please contact your child’s teacher. Email addresses for teachers are listed on the Jarvis Collegiate Website.

We are looking forward to speaking with you on Thursday, May 5, 2022.

About Jarvis

Jarvis Collegiate has a prestigious history of academic excellence. As the oldest public high school in Ontario, Jarvis has a long-standing reputation that is built upon daily. Jarvis prides itself on this reputation of academic excellence and aims to prepare the next generation of community and world leaders.

Jarvis offers a wide range of courses, programs, and extra-curricular activities. As a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S.T.E.M.) school, the students in our classrooms are engaged in project-based learning. An inquiry method of teaching and learning is utilized as students partake in independent and collaborative studies within the S.T.E.M. fields. Further, our Advanced Placement (A.P.) and Pre-Advanced Placement classes offer students in grades 9-12 an enriched curriculum recognized by the College Board.

Jarvis offers students the opportunity to enroll in our Business Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM). A SHSM is a ministry-approved specialized program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). The SHSM also assists students in their transition from secondary school to apprenticeship training, college, university or the workplace. Go here to learn more about Specilist High Skills Majors.
