Hello students! 

As discussed in our morning and afternoon classes, you will have your assessments this week. Topics will be about City of Windsor programs, recreation, CMHA services and mental health.

• In-person students, you will have your assessments in the classroom.

• The rest of the students will continue with assessments online.

• Afternoon students, check your inboxes for the time slots and schedules for the speaking assessment.
• On Wednesday, listening assessment starts at 12:30 PM. After that, you have to log back in for your speaking time slots.

• If I don't admit you right away, please be patient. It means I'm still with another student. If you try to contact me (chat, email, call, text, etc.), I may not be able to respond because I'm busy with the assessment.

As I explained in class, here is our schedule this week:
