RGSS INFORMATION – Friday, January 22, 2021
Message from School Administration – Semester 2 Timetables Update
All YRDSB high schools are currently following similar timelines to recreate semester 2 student
timetables due to families choosing between adaptive and virtual school models. A reminder
that YRDSB is not allowing changes between models as per the Director of Education’s e-mail
which accompanied the survey back in November.
We ask all students and families to ignore what they see as semester 2 timetable in My Blue
Print as it is outdated. We also ask all students and families for your patience as the school
follows YRDSB timelines to recreate semester 2 timetables. Neither guidance nor school admin
can address any concerns at this time as we need to recreate the semester 2 student
timetables. As per YRDSB timelines to all high schools, semester 2 timetables will be shared
with students later this month and there will be opportunity for student course change. We
thank you for your continued support and patience.
Mr. Cherry, Mr. Lim, and Ms. Mitchell

Grade 12 students
The deadline to apply to Ontario Universities through OUAC was January 15, 2021.
The deadline to apply to Ontario Colleges through ontariocolleges.ca is February 1, 2021.
Due to COVID-19, the community involvement graduation requirement has been reduced to a
minimum of 20 hours of community involvement activities.
In addition, the literacy graduation requirement has been waived for all students graduating
during the 2020-21 school year.
Please note: these modified graduation requirements (C.I. & Literacy) will not be reported as
complete on OUAC until June 2021 when all other graduation requirements have been met (i.e.
30 credits earned). This will NOT prevent you from applying or receiving offers of admission to
your programs of choice.
Students can book a virtual meeting with their guidance counsellor on Teach Assist for support
with applying to post-secondary institutions.

Yearbook Club
THE 2020 - 21 YEARBOOK – “TOGETHER, 6 FEET APART”
By Luca Rampersad, for the RGSS Yearbook Club
The unavoidable consequences of this pandemic have,
thus far, elicited massive changes in the typical routine of
high school life; courses are shifting to adaptive and
virtual models, sports teams are mostly cancelled, and
clubs that are continuing operations have migrated to
Zoom and Google Meet. However, as the world reinvents
itself all around us, there are some things that just can’t
change. Where there are still stories to be told, where
there are still people to celebrate, and where there is still
school spirit to show off, the RGSS Yearbook must be
there to remind students of the awesome memories
made amidst this especially challenging time.
That is why we are pleased to announce that the 2020-21
Yearbook is now AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE! Students in
the Yearbook Club and the AWD3M course are designing,
writing, taking pictures and interviewing nonstop to
make sure that this year’s book is as creative and as
representative of this crazy year as possible! You can find
the RGSS 2020-21 Yearbook tab on School Cash Online
right now. The book is $45.00, and sales will continue
until February 28th, 2020. No yearbooks will be up for sale
after that date, so remember to get your payments in!
From RGSS Model UN’s successes in national-level debate, to
the immeasurably hard work our teachers put in to adapt entire courses for online classes, there are still so many
memories and accomplishments which are making this chapter in our world’s history at least a little bit more
manageable. We sincerely hope that you consider purchasing our Yearbook and keeping the tradition alive! In next
week’s issue of the Bulletin, we’ll be releasing the cover art of this year’s Yearbook – stay tuned for that!
Best wishes from the Yearbook Team!
