We are back into the routines of a new school year. Our student population has increased from last year. Last year we had 317 students enrolled on June 30th; as of August 31 we have 345 students on the school register. The greatest increase in student numbers was in the primary (K - 2) area. We have created another morning kindergarten class and additional grade two classroom to accomodate the growth in our primary student numbers.
There will be a newsletter sent home with your child on Friday, Sept. 3. This newsletter will contain basic information related to school initiatives, renewal of the K - 5 curricula, In Motion initiative, school community council, lunch policy, transportation, middle years extra-curricular activities, upcoming school events, what to do if you want to volunteer in classrooms, be an excursion chaperone, drive students to various activities, and/or coach a team. The newsletter will be lengthy but full of useful information.
