Go to www.myblueprint.ca and register as an interested student in the ECO Studies Program. On myBlueprint indicate your interest in the Ecostudies Program (Environment SHSM at Aldershot School). You can do this by clicking on “High School” on the left side of your screen, then click on “Learn More” under Regional Programs on the right side of the High School page and follow the prompts.
Step 4
While in myBlueprint, make a plan for your remaining years of High School that includes all SHSM requirements (remember you must plan for a two-credit co-op, this can be done in the summer or during the school year).
Step 5
Once the school’s timetable has been built (typically late May/early June), SHSM students who have conflicts will be notified by their guidance counsellor who will then work with them to help build a timetable that works.
