Photo retakes

If you missed having your photo taken, or you'd like to have a retake done then this is your chance! On November 1st photographers will be at our school. If you have purchased a photo package and plan to have retakes done please be sure to bring your original package back to give to the photographer. Photo packages can be purchased online.

No Letter Grades for Grade 8 Students

With the new provincial curriculum and a province wide shift to quality formative assessment, grade 8 students at Smithers Secondary will no longer be receiving letter grades on their report cards or interim reports. This will be consistent with the assessment and student reporting structures this group of students has received during their elementary school years. 

Teachers will be reporting on learning outcomes and criteria descriptions rather than handing out a grade. The intent is this will be more motivating for students, and more descriptive of their own individual learning process and engagement.

Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about their learning.

Message from Prevention and Community Safety Officer

Town of Smithers Bylaw Dept. will be issuing tickets to parents/students who stop along yellow curb while dropping off students. The yellow curb and accompanying signs indicate that it is illegal to "stop, stand, or park" in the designated area. This action is a result of numerous complaints received from parents concerned about cyclist, pedestrian, and driver safety. A preferable method for pick up/drop off would be to enter the student parking lot off of third, drop off student, and exit out Gryphon way. Also, students can be dropped off in all areas along Third Avenue or Montreal in any area not marked by yellow curb. Parent / student cooperation in this matter will hopefully increase student safety during times of high traffic.
