Our students and staff enjoyed a beautiful fall day on Friday to do our Terry Fox Walk. Things were slightly different this year and we had a shorter route, but our students still enjoyed the event and many of you supported the Terry Foundation with an online donation. Thank you so much! If you would still like to make a donation, you can click on this link:

To Parents of Kindergarten Children:
In the Spring, the Board set the Kindergarten Enhanced Fee at $100, to cover the cost of enhanced, in-school activities and field trip expenses for Kindergarten students. With the uncertainty surrounding out-of-school field trips for the 2020-2021 school year, the Division will be charging the Kindergarten Enhanced Fee in 2 installments. $50.00 wil be charged in September to all Kindergarten children. A reassessment will be completed in January, reviewing both the expenses to-date as well as changes to field trip availability and activities planned for the remainder of the school year. The remaining $50.00 will be charged on February 1, if it is determined that the fee will be used to enhance Kindergarten education.
