FYI – Registration is now open for Burnaby Online’s Summer Planning 10 course. Students can access the registration documents required from our home page: online.sd41.bc.ca (a direct link can be found here:

http://online.sd41.bc.ca/Registration/HowtoRegister/SummerSessionPlanningPlanification10.aspx)

The Summer Planning 10 course is designed to be completed in 5 weeks and is the only course we offer where there are strict deadlines for the work assigned. If students don’t think they can adhere to this schedule (they will be away and not have internet access for more than a few days, etc), then they can still enroll in our “regular” Planning 10 where the due dates are not as strict and still complete the course over the summer months. If students are currently in Grade 9, we ask that they wait until the beginning of June to register for the “regular” Planning 10 course due to the maturity required for some of the curriculum topics.

Students can register for Summer Planning 10 until June 28, 2013.
