Student end of day pick upIn order to ensure the safety of students we ask that parents/guardians contact the school office by 2:00 PM if their child will not be on the bus. The school must also be notified by parents/guardians when someone other than themselves will be picking up their child. This is to ensure that all students safely reach their destinations and school staff have sufficient time to communicate changes. A reminder that Divisional Cross Country meet for grades 3-8 will be taking place on Monday, October 2 at St. Malo Provincial Park. If your child will be participating in the race please remember to pack them a bagged lunch and water bottle. Students are expected to have running shoes and to dress for the weather.

Glenna understands that the work of reconciliation in the education system is imperative to building strength and confidence in our children and communities. We are proud to work alongside her towards these goals. Cookem Daisey shares her knowledge through stories; cooking traditional foods and fusion dishes; talking about traditional family ties; stories of triumph and failure as an Indigenous child, woman, and community member; introductions to cultural practices and morals; games, and tea times for sharing and exploring our connections as a diverse community.
