West Niagara Secondary School will be running a 5 period day. Students will have 4 classes and a multi-subject instructional period (MSIP) on their timetable. The purpose of an MSIP is to provide time for silent work, group work, catching up, working on projects or getting extra help in subjects of need. We will be organizing staff on MSIPs to maximize the variety of subject areas represented each period - allowing students to get help in a variety of subjects, if needed. MSIP is mandatory to attend, and attendance is taken as it is for the four classes on student timetables.
