Exploring Alternatives - Videos

 

Grade 6 graduates need to submit a photo

 Please read the following email sent out by Mme. Berube:

Hello! Please ask your grade 6 students to submit a picture of themselves sitting at their workspace (their workspace for virtual learning). They should have someone else take the picture and their face should be clearly visible. The picture must be taken vertically as it will be used at the end of the grad video. Pictures should be renamed/retitled as the student's first and last name (with no spelling errors).

You can let the students know that this picture is important and that everyone is going to see it, so they should take it seriously (no silly faces or dark pictures).

Pictures can be emailed directly to me at: stefanie.berube@ocsb.ca

Thank you for your time with this :)
