Stay Up to Date
It is important to stay up to date with deadlines, assignments, and test dates as well as special events and extracurricular commitments, in order to be successful in class and throughout life. Each student must find their own system of tracking important information such as deadlines and events. Our school agenda books are a good place to start, or you may choose to make use of the amazing productivity apps available for your smart phone or other device. The important thing is that you find a system that works for you.
In addition, here are a few tools that I provide to help you stay on top of everything:
Remind
Students and their parents (and other caregivers of course) are encouraged to sign up for Remind, which is a service that allows me to send mass (or individual) text (or email) messages to my students and their parents, all without sharing personal phone numbers or email addresses. This service also allows students or parents to ask me questions or respond to questions and polls from me.

SWC Events and News
Website: A website you should know is the main Sheldon website: http://sheldon.rbe.sk.ca/
Announcements: Most SWAP teachers will review the weekly announcements once a week during SWAP time. However you should get into the habit of checking these announcements regularly yourself in case your SWAP teacher misses something that is important to you, and parents should check regularly as well. Here is the link to the announcements. They can be updated at any time by any staff member, so these are often the most up to date information available.
Sheldon Events Calendar: You should also keep any eye on the Sheldon Events Calendar on the school website. Lots of important information there, including extracurricular events, trips, deadlines, PD days and other holidays, exam days, etc.
Follow SWC on Twitter: If you use Twitter, you might find it helpful to follow @SheldonWillColl for school-wide news and updates as well.
Course Events Calendars
Each of my courses has an events Calendar on its main page (see links in the header above), so that you can keep track of important dates, deadlines, and assignments. Please refer to those regularly in order to stay up to date.
