Updates and Important Information

Dirtbikes & ATVs
We’ve received several concerns from community members about students driving dirt bikes and ATVs recklessly. We ask parents/guardians to take time to speak with your child(ren) about the importance of road safety and the responsible use of these machines. Safe operation protects not only our students but also everyone in the community. This is not only a safety concern, but a legal one as well.Morning Bus School Drop Off
In cases where buses arrive at school before 8:30, students will wait in the front lobby until staff supervision begins at 8:30.Code of Conduct
Just a reminder that this year, we are introducing an updated Code of Conduct, which includes a Conflict Resolution system. The intention of this system is to reduce disruptive/harmful behaviours and promote positive behaviours. Please make sure you review this with your child(ren): Code of ConductSchool Council
