Dear Families,
We hope your week is going well!
Learning in Our Classrooms
It has been an exciting start to the school year as students dive into learning across our core subject areas. Teachers have been engaging students with meaningful activities that build foundational skills, encourage collaboration, and spark curiosity. We are thrilled to see the energy and enthusiasm students are bringing to their learning each day.
Grade 7 Band Program
We are excited to invite our Grade 7 students to participate in the band program this year! Band is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop their musical skills, explore creativity, and build friendships while performing together. Whether your child is new to music or has previous experience, this program offers a welcoming environment to grow and enjoy the arts.
Off-Campus Lunch Plan
This year, our off-campus lunch plan will be phased by grade level. Grade 9 students will have off-campus privileges starting October 1, grade 8 students will begin in January, and grade 7 students will not have off-campus lunch privileges this year.
