Our board is working towards the goal of increasing the overall reading proficiency of all students, with a focus on students in grades 1-3, as early intervention is key in preventing future reading difficulties.

The next school council meeting will be held on Thursday, April 9th, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm in our library/learning commons. Please see the information below if you are planning to join virtually.
When students arrive to school late after the morning entry bell, they must report to the office before going to their class/portable. This will ensure that their attendance is accounted for. If they do not report to the office and their teacher has marked them absent, Safe Arrival Attendance calls will go home to indicate that a child is absent from school. Please remind your children of our late arrival procedures so that all students are accounted for.
The school board has developed an EQAO resource featuring a sample question from the Grade 3, 6, and 9 EQAO assessments to work through with their child. The goal is to support meaningful math conversations at home and help families better understand the types of questions students encounter on EQAO. These resources can be accessed here
