JANUARY 2026
Happy New Year! It is hard to believe that we are nearly halfway through another year. It will be a busy January as the first semester comes to a close. Our basketball seasons are all underway with league and tournament play ramping up. Our drama production of Anything Goes is in full swing. Make sure you support our Musical Theatre class by coming out and seeing the show!
We would like to welcome several new faces to our building. Theo Dykstra is joining us in an assistant principal capacity. David Gourlic, Emilie Tourangeau, and Jamen Young will be joining our teaching staff in the second semester.
Finally, as always, please reach out to the office or any of our school administrators if you have questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mr. Lake

REMINDERS
Important Reminder for Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up:
To ensure the safety of all students and help traffic flow smoothly, we’d like to remind parents and guardians of the following:
🚗 The drop-off and pick-up lane is a continuously moving lane.
🚗 For safety, students should always exit the vehicle from the right side.
🚗 If your child needs extra time during drop-off, or if you are waiting during pick-up, please use the additional parking areas or the student parking lot. This keeps the main lane clear and helps prevent congestion.
Please note:
🚪 Multiple entrances and exits are available before the first bell and after dismissal—use them to help ease traffic.
🅿️ Visitor stalls are reserved for those entering the school building.
🅿️ The staff parking lot is reserved for staff only. The area marked with a red "X" is included in staff parking and should never be used. It is a high collision risk due to its proximity to the exit.
🚌 Always yield to buses and keep the bus and emergency lanes clear at all times. Bus lanes must remain clear after school until 3:50 PM.
We appreciate your continued cooperation in keeping our school safe, efficient, and welcoming for all students and families.
The front doors are locked at 4:00 PM daily. All sports spectators or community use members will need to use the community doors. Please do not ring the doorbell to get access to the doors.
Visitors Attending Events during school hours (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM)
Please do not park in the staff parking lot. Our staff access the school at various times throughout the day, and it is important that these spaces remain available for their use.
Textbooks are issued to students at the start of each semester, or school year, and are due on the day of the final exam of the subject being written.
Textbooks not returned will be considered lost and the replacement cost will be added to PowerSchool for payment.
Textbooks returned damaged are subject to full replacement cost.
Notification emails will be sent to the parent/student for any outstanding books or fines.
If a student withdraws from a course, he/she must return the relevant textbook immediately. Textbooks not returned will be subject to the replacement cost.
