Thank you for a great year together. We wish you an enjoyable and fulfilling summer and are looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 2nd! For those of you who are returning, please keep an eye out for an e-mail in late August with more information about our school start-up, and for those of you who are leaving, we wish you best of luck at your new schools!

Web Leader Training – August 27th - August 28th:
Those students selected as Grade 8 Web Leaders will be getting training August 27th – Aug 28th.

Wed. Aug. 27: 8:30 – 1:30
Thurs. Aug. 28: 8:30 – 1:30

This year our Web Leaders will be welcoming Grade 6 students and providing an orientation on the first day of school. This way all of our grade 6 students are able to be a part of the WEB orientation experience

Tuesday, September 2nd - First Day of School
The first day will be a partial one for students to meet their teachers, peers, and to see parts of the school. Students do NOT bring their supplies on this day. They only need to bring a pencil and paper or notepad.

Grade 6 students will have their WEB Orientation on this day from 8:25 – 11:30. Students will meet their homeroom in the gym (more detailed instructions to come in August), take them to their class for attendance, and then begin their WEB Orientation morning. You will notice that our grade 6 students stay longer than the rest of the school this first day so that they can end their morning with a lunch and have a bit of time to have the school all to themselves.

Grade 7 and 8 will be at school on this day from 8:25 – 10:30. Students will proceed directly to their classes. Student helpers as well as Learning Services staff will be available to help new students find their classrooms.

Wednesday, September 3rd (FULL DAY)
Classes will run the full day from 8:25 a.m. until 2:20 p.m. daily. Teachers will begin team building activities with their students. All students will enter through their assigned areas.

Supply List
The School Supply list can be found under the 'Parents & Students' tab. Do NOT bring all supplies to school the first day. Teachers will be giving additional instructions regarding lockers starting the second day.
