Parking Lot
Please make sure you are parking in designated parking space. Vehicles are not permitted to park along the exit lane.
Ministry Exams
Ministry assessments have begun and will continue through June. Although we do not want to create stress for students by highlighting these evaluation situations as something more than another piece of evidence towards their learning, we would like to request that your children be present at school as much as possible. Catching students up for missed classes can be a challenge due to the limited time frame for administration of the assessments. Thank you in advance for your support.
Illnesses
As in any elementary school, common illnesses/inconvenient ailments are a frequent occurrence. Please do not send your child to school if their symptoms are present and negatively impacting their day. If your child is showing signs of discomfort, we will call home for pick up. Below is a guide for when your child should stay home.
