March/April Spotlights

VIC HIGH READS 2023

Our post-Covid edition is up and running from March through May.  Classes in the English, Social Studies, and Science Departments have selected a title from the long list and are in the process of reading it. Stay tuned for updates on Instagram @vichighlibrary and @vichighsd61 and promotions in April and early May.

If you'd like a poster for your classroom, ask Wendy. 

ACCESS UPDATES - DIGITAL RESOURCES

There have been ongoing access issues with the district-purchased resources on the Digital Resource Hub.  Please share these user name and password combinations with students;  they are required for off-site access from home. You should be able to use all of these resources from school without logging in, but if you are prompted for log in, the credentials below apply to on-site access.

  • For CBC Curio, staff and students can sign up with their sd61 or sd61learn email.  Some staff have encountered sign-in issues due to a Curio glitch;  please report to Wendy.  CBC is responsive in quickly addressing issues.
