2025-2026 School Year

Band Trips + Brilliance
Congratulations to both the Jr and Sr Bands as they travelled this week to the Golden Horseshoe Band Event. Both bands were recognized for their brilliance and performance. A big thank you to Mr. P. for his hard work and dedication to the students as they have been putting in the hard work over the last number of months.

Ice on the Property
Many of you who were on the school property this week would have noticed that there was significant ice building up on the walk ways and blacktop area. Although we do do our best as a school and our contractors work through the night it can still be pretty slippery out there. Please be careful as you walk on the property and give yourself some extra time when driving as we have also noticed an increase in car traffic throughout the week.

Driving Safety
There is NO PARKING on Steeplechase (in front of the school). Stopping or parking there creates unsafe conditions for other cars and our students who are walking in and out of the school.
Also, please take extra precaution when you are driving on and around the school property. With the large snow banks and slippery roads it creates an extra layer of danger for our students and families. Plan ahead, take extra time, move slowly and ensure you are being safe when driving or walking near our school.

Generational Dance
On Thursday night School Council ran a fun and fabulous event called the "Generational Dance" where families were invited to dance and sing and have fun with our live DJ, disco lights and party atmosphere. It was a great night! A big thanks to our School Council for offering such a fun event!
