Remembrance Day
We will be holding a Remembrance Day Assembly on November 7th from 10:40-11:10 in the gym. All families are welcome to attend. Students will receive a poppy from the school that day. If you would like to bring in a small donation to go towards the Legion, there is a collection box in the office.
Loblaws Collect and Save Stamps
We are currently collecting stamps to get a discount to replace the frying pans in our Culinary Arts classroom. If you shop at a Loblaws store and aren’t collecting the stamps, please consider donating them to the school by sending them with your child to give to their teacher.
Vacations
Students are expected to attend school on scheduled school days and take holidays according to the school year calendar. If parents/guardians choose to take their child out of school at times other than school holidays, teachers will not provide work for that time. Any missed work or tests will be made up when the student returns, at the teacher’s discretion.
