In response to this past fall's School Accountability Committee (SAC) survey we are working to provide a variety of modes for communication to match our families needs. The fact that you are reading the newsletter now is one of those ways, but we also have included links to our social media accounts just below the school crest. No matter what platform you choose, you should be able to get information on upcoming events, school activities and celebrations throughout the year. 

Additionally, our school website provides an up to date calendar of events with times for clubs, games and activities as well as links to everything you would need to know on the JA front.
