Principal Message

With next week being a short week, as we have our Professional Development Day and Teacher's Convention, the memo will reflect school information and events up until March 7, 2025.

On Thursday, March 6, 2025, we will be hosting our Demonstration of Learning. Registration links and information were sent to families from the homeroom teachers this week. Please contact your child's homeroom teacher if you are having trouble booking.

Don't forget to share your plans for the 2025-2026 school year! Log into PowerSchool and select the "Pre-Enrolment for Next Year" icon from the left hand menu. From there you will be able to choose the school your child plans on attending next year. If you are having trouble navigating the online tool, or need help completing the process, please contact Mrs. Lee in the office.

Have a wonderful next couple of weeks. It is hard to believe we will be settling into March and looking forward to Spring Break!

With gratitude,

Mrs. Carr-Jeschke & Mrs. McNamee
