Grade 8 and 9 Core Competency Reflections have been moved to an online format which will now take place between May 15th and May 29th.  The following resources explain the process students will follow and provide them with sample reflection questions.

There are two possibilities: to either write or video tape your reflections.  Here are some key resources to help complete the reflections:

    • OR click here to see a pdf for detailed instructions on How to Create the Video Reflection.

If students would rather complete their reflection through a personal conversation with a teacher, they should e-mail Mrs. Virani to set up an appointment.
