On Friday, August 25th families can log into PowerSchool to see who their homeroom teacher is and access their schedule. Jr. High students will receive an email from Ms. Kruse letting them know their CTF options for Term 1 by the first day of school. Ms. Kruse will connect with new students on the first day of school to select their CTF classes. *Please note that you will require a Parent Portal to access your PowerSchool account. Should you have questions about setting this up please email Ms. Rudrud.

Note that class placements are made in consultation with the teachers. When classes are set up we follow a number of guidelines. These include: 

• Ability Distribution & Class Size - the best conditions for an effective learning community is to place students in an environment where there is a range of abilities. We also have to maintain class sizes. 

• Work habits - Some students work more independently than others. It is best to combine diverse students to create a supportive learning environment. 

We are asking for your support in trusting the judgment of our professional staff in setting up the classes. Considerable time is allocated to making the best possible decision. The well-being of each individual is at the center of our decision. We are not able to accommodate a specific teacher request or for friends to be placed in the same class. 

The first day of school is Wednesday, August 30th, 2023.

Doors will be open at 7:59 on the first day of school. Similar to previous years, we will be using specific doors for Grade levels. Please refer to the door map for the location of the specific door. 

The first 2 blocks of the day will be spent with their homeroom teachers to become familiar and reacquainted with our new school year. Following this, students will begin to follow their regular schedule. 

Students can be dropped off in front of the school or at the rear. Students being dropped off on the bus wishing to go through the back doors should use the designated pedestrian zone. PLEASE avoid cutting through the staff parking lot both at the beginning and end of the day. 

The health and safety of everyone in our community continue to be a top priority. As we get started with the back-to-school routine, please remember to stay home and recover if you are sick.
