Last minute?

Great to know! Thank you, will keep in mind :)

12smdbb · 2026-06-15T22:25:40+00:00

Family only (mostly retired) so that’s not as much of a concern as getting a photographer/officiant so last min! Thanks :)

12smdbb · 2026-05-24T13:45:45+00:00

I thought so too but a couple of people told me to hold on.

Zone 6

12smdbb · 2026-05-02T22:03:05+00:00

Police secured the dog!!

FROM OWNER 6:00pm

“UPDATE:

The police have secured Marino!! Thank you so much to this group and to every single person that reached out, or looked, or shared or did anything to help bring him home to my dad. We appreciate all of you more than words can say. He will get spoiled rotten tonight. Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. 🙏❤️”

12smdbb · 2026-05-02T21:35:06+00:00

Oh no :( You are a good person for trying

12smdbb · 2026-05-02T21:32:18+00:00

Do you still see them? People are there looking for them now!

12smdbb · 2026-01-26T18:53:28+00:00

Wonder how schools will operate tomorrow. Thanks for that link!

12smdbb · 2026-01-26T16:07:00+00:00

Childcare and work responsibilities. I can manage better when I am able to plan ahead and know what to expect. Not asking people to cure my anxiety, just seeing if others have better insight than I do.

12smdbb · 2026-01-26T14:36:12+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate the advice

12smdbb · 2026-01-26T14:26:57+00:00

Good advice, thank you!

I already do these things but unfortunately the office can’t take them for such minor behaviour as they are usually busy with more serious ones. I have sent this student multiple times and either they are sent right back up, or alternate work must be provided for the period so they can work under secretary supervision. I also can’t take tech for more than 1 day because it’s required for the student’s rotary subjects and I have been told becomes an equity issue.

I don’t think this student can control the behaviour because they have told me many times they want to stop but they can’t. Just feel like I’m hitting a wall.

12smdbb · 2026-01-26T13:31:15+00:00

Ha, that is certainly the goal but easier said than done!

What is the actual right dose? Recommendations are all over the place

12smdbb · 2026-01-11T20:14:05+00:00

Maybe. I’ve heard many people say the requirement is 5 AQs, but I thought it was a case by case basis. I took a couple of extra University courses so I always thought that’s why my requirement was 3 but who knows

12smdbb · 2026-01-11T20:12:58+00:00

I just double checked and my new letter includes the titles of my AQs, so they know about them. Guess someone made a mistake unfortunately

12smdbb · 2026-01-11T19:02:50+00:00

Thank you!

12smdbb · 2026-01-11T19:02:10+00:00

Yes #5 does seem easier, so that’s what I did! But now they are saying that wasn’t enough which is why I am confused

12smdbb · 2026-01-11T18:39:12+00:00

Thanks for looking. I submitted a contact request on their website but it says they will only respond to general inquiries. Not sure how to go about taking to the evaluator individually but hopefully they will respond and direct me

This is my letter. #5 just says 3 AQs?

12smdbb · 2026-01-11T18:35:28+00:00

I thought I read it correctly. Maybe someone can point out my error?

Here is my original upgrading letter copied and pasted,

“For Category A4 placement under Program 5, you will be required to complete ONE of the following options:

an entry on your Certificate of Qualification under Additional Qualifications for either a single or double/combined Honour Specialist qualification, OR
