CIDES is now permanently closed.

Please be advised that the last day to hand in assignments is January 9, 2026. The CIDES program will be closing permanently and will not be able to accept or mark assignments after this date. Final marks will be assigned to students based on the assignments handed in on or before January 9, 2026. Any incomplete assignments will be given a "zero" and the final mark will then be calculated. We strongly encourage all of our students to take note of this timeline and complete their work at a speed that ensures their coursework is finished and handed in by January 9, 2026.

All current students are asked to complete their assignments no later than June 10, 2025, or by the date requested by the teacher. This is to allow current teachers to wrap up their courses and submit their grades prior to the close of school for the summer months. If you cannot complete your classes by this date, please contact the school as program support will remain in place until January 2026.

If you are a current student and have a question about your course, please email your teacher directly. If you have difficulty with your login, please email cidesinfo@sd57.bc.ca, and/or your teacher directly.
