Welcome to Claremont Secondary School
Home of the Spartans!
Welcome to the 2010/2011 School Year!
We are very excited about starting a new year and are looking forward to meeting our students next week. Students are expected to be at school by 12:30 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 7 and Wednesday, Sept. 8. After a brief homeroom period, students will spend approximately one hour in their block 1 class and then a second hour in their block 2 class. On Wednesday, after homeroom, they will attend blocks 3 and 4 for the same length of time.
Students will receive their timetable in homeroom on Tuesday. As we have said during course selection and in June, students should have carefully selected their course, so we anticipate that relatively few students will be requesting any changes. If there are concerns with a student's timetable, there will be a process by which students, with parent signatures, can request changes. Counselors will in most cases, not be available to meet with parents during the first week of classes, but will be in contact with them and their students if there are situations which require consultation.
Please read below for more information about bus schedules, transit passes, and fees. And check the calendars for information about September events like "Meet The Teacher" nights and PAC meetings.

Student Fees and Invoices
On the first day of school, we will issue the student invoices for things such as the text book deposit ($100.00 if not already paid), activity fee ($25), the yearbook ($45) and the optional PAC donation ($10 suggested donation). Our accounts office will be open the week prior to September 7th. It would be helpful for fees to be paid during this week if you have the time to drop by and see us.
