Any Oak Bay High student has the following options:
– On the afternoons that you do not have a C block class, as space permits, students are encouraged and welcomed to work in the library. Please check in with the librarian or library clerk upon arrival.
– Every Wednesday afternoon for term 1 (the first half of quarter 1), students can book time with their teacher(s) to receive support. Students should discuss this with their classroom teacher. The library is also open during this time.
– Every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, there are staff in the library ready to support students with their learning and/or supervise a test/retest that has been pre-arranged with their classroom teacher. To reserve a seat during one of these days, please talk to your classroom teacher or email Ms Bender (sabender@sd61.bc.ca). Drop ins are also welcome as long as there is space for all students and staff to remain 6-feet apart with masks on.
