English 122 is a compulsory course needed to graduate in New Brunswick.  Report cards will be going home next week.  Please  check with your child and review their English mark with them.  A number of students have not been putting forth enough effort and have failed to complete all their course work.  As a result, they are in jeopardy of not being successful this semester.
