Mr. Charalambous' blog moving exclusively to Google Classroom

Dear parents and students:

Seeing as fewer and fewer students are using the class blog, I've decided to move all homework postings and general announcements to google classroom. Parents, with your child's username and password you can access any homework postings or updates through google.

If you have any questions please feel free to call the school at anytime! 

Performing Arts

Due to the bus cancellation on Tuesday, the Grade 8 trip to Maple H.S. has been moved to Thursday, January 12.  Details remain the same.  Only students who have been provided permission through School Cash Online will be allowed to attend this opportunity. 

Maple High Performing Arts Day

This is a friendly reminder to go onto school cash online to give consent for our "Maple High Performing Arts Day" for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 10th.

The Holidays are Here!

So the Winter Break is finally here! Take this time to rest and relax. Don't forget, though, that your Geography assignment will be due the second week back after the break. 

Happy holidays!

High School FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Q:        My child has applied to one of the Regional programs in YRDSB (IB, ARTS, Bill Crothers), do we still have to a complete a Maple High School Registration Form?

A:        If you have already received confirmation of acceptance into a Regional program, please inform the Grade 8 teacher, so they can remove the child’s name from the list of outstanding Registration Forms.  If you arewaiting to receive an acceptance into a Regional program, please complete the Maple High School Registration Form, and attach a note to the front of the form indicating “Has applied to IB/ARTS/BCSS-waiting for notification”.  This will ensure that, if the application to the regional program is not successful, your child will have a space at Maple High School.

 

Q:        My child will not attend Maple High School, but will attend a private school, a Catholic school, or a school in another board due to a move of residence, do we still have to a complete a Maple High School Registration Form?

A:        If you are moving out of the Maple High School boundary area, or to another board of education, or if you have registered your child at one of the private or Catholic schools in the area, please inform the Grade 8 teacher, so they can remove the child’s name from the list of outstanding Registration Forms.  If you are moving, we recommend that you contact the school in the new location as soon as possible to determine the requirements for registration at that school.

 

Q:        I wish to transfer my child to another YRDSB school outside of the boundary area I live in.

A:         Complete the Maple High School Registration Form, and the “Application for Student Transfer From One York Region School To Another” Form (available from the Main Office of the elementary school your child currently attends).  These two forms must be received by Maple High School no later than Friday, February 3, 2017, so that the application can be included in the board wide transfer process that occurs during the week of February 6 – 8, 2017.

Basic Camera Shots

Basic Camera Shot types:

Extreme Wide Shots (EWS) act to establish the area.

Wide Shots (WS) show the entire person or area.  They’re great for establishing the scene and allow for good action of the characters.  Sometimes this is known as the long shot.

Medium Shots (MS) frame the subject from the waste up.  This is the most common shot and allows for hand gestures and motion.

Medium Close Ups (MCU) shots show the subject in more detail and are often framed from just below the 

shoulders to the top of the head.

Close Ups (CU) show a particular part of your subject.  For people this usually means the shot frames just the head!

Extreme Close Ups (ECU) are much tighter close-up shots in which you get detail greater than the human eye might be able to normally perceive.  An example of this shot might be of the mouth and eyes together
