We are excited to invite you to our upcoming School Council meeting on November 10, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, which will be held virtually via TEAMS. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to engage with our school community and contribute to the enhancement of your child’s educational experience.  Your involvement is essential, and we encourage all parents to participate. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in our school community. 

Inclement Weather 

Students will continue to go outside for lunch and PE unless there is heavy rain, temperatures are below -20°C, or air quality is poor. Please ensure your child comes prepared for the weather each day. This may mean raincoats and rain boots on wet days, or warm jackets, hats and mittens when temperatures drop! 

Away for the Day Cell Phone Policy

Please remember to complete your purchase once you’ve put items in the ‘cart’. You are able to preorder for the year if that is easier for you. If you prepurchase a meal and your student is absent that day, you can call the school on the day of the event, before 10:00am, to arrange for pickup at the office. If you cannot pick the meal up by the end of the day, it will not be refrigerated and will be thrown out. Any meals without an alternate pickup arrangement by 10:00 am will be given to students who need lunch.
