Course Registration

Please complete your course choices by February 27th. Student choices inform our schedule, and we try our very best to set a schedule that provides students the opportunity to take the courses they're most interested in.

Note: Earlier communication indicated the possibility of Applied Math (Grade 11 & 12) offered on-line if there are not enough registrations. We are hopeful that we will have enough students interested in this course for in-person classes. If Applied Math is right for you, please ensure that you indicate it on your course form. Additionally, there may be a possibility of taking Applied Math as an additional math (elective). If this is of interest to you, please speak to your student services teacher and indicate on your form.

Academic Labs

A reminder to all NMC students, if you are looking for some extra help with schoolwork or need to catch up on overdue assignments before the end of term, you are strongly encouraged to attend our Academic Labs during late start Wednesdays. The labs will run from 8:30-9:30am and there are staff members present to assist you. 

Language Lab Volunteers Needed

We are looking for NMC students who are comfortable speaking English to partner up with students who are looking for some extra practice with their language skills. We need people to join our Language Lab on Wednesday mornings from 8:30-9:30am. The hours you spend volunteering can be put towards a volunteer credit. If you are interested, please reach out to your Student Services teacher and let them know.

Controlled Access Procedures:

As part of our updated controlled access measures, please remember:

• Everyone must enter through the front doors. Staff will not open exterior doors for students or visitors. 
• All exterior doors will remain locked during school hours. Families, visitors, and community members must use the video-enabled doorbell at the main entrance. 
• Visitors must sign in at the office, receive a badge, and sign out when they leave.
• Students should exit the building by 4:00 PM unless participating in a supervised activity.

These procedures support a safe, welcoming, single point of entry for our school community. Thank you for helping maintain a secure environment for all.

Athletics Entrance Procedure: 

During games, the front doors of the school will be locked. All coaches, players, and fans must enter and exit through the back door located in the Highfield parking lot. Parking is available in the lot and on the surrounding streets. Signage will be posted throughout the school to direct everyone to the gym.

Teams and spectators will enter the gym through the stage door. Players will be able to access the change rooms directly from the gym via the stage area.
