Principal’s Message

As we approach the winter break, we would like to take a moment to celebrate the many wonderful activities and events that have taken place at our school this fall. Thank you to our students, staff, families, and volunteers for making our school community such a vibrant and caring place!

We wish all our families a safe, restful, and joyful winter break. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community—we look forward to seeing everyone in the new year!

Some recent highlights:

Our Winter Assembly was a joyful celebration filled with singing and dancing that students absolutely loved. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Kolb for organizing such a memorable event and bringing our school community together.

We will be hosting a Spring Concert where we will invite families to join us. Our Winter Concert was an opportunity for us to practice our presentation and audience skills.

Our Grade 4 and 5 students had a fantastic time participating in the Handball Jamboree. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm, teamwork, and sportsmanship on display!

The Kindergarten classes have been having a blast exploring and learning in the forest playground. A big thank you to our PAC for purchasing a new storage shed to keep Kindergarten outdoor gear organized and accessible—this support is truly appreciated!

The Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success! Thank you to Ms. Holmes for organizing the event and to all the parent volunteers who generously gave their time to support literacy in our school.

Safety Routines and Reminders

  • Thank you to all parents for following posted signage for reserved parking at all times, including accessible parking and bus zones.

  • If your child arrives late, please bring them to the office. Please do not take students directly to classrooms.

  • District Policy (SD62) states that animals are not permitted on school grounds between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30p.m. With many families present during drop-off and pick-up, we kindly ask that dogs remain off school property during these hours. Thank you for your cooperation.

Keep Our School Healthy

We ask that parents and guardians ensure their children are feeling well before coming to school. Students who are experiencing symptoms that limit their ability to participate fully in school activities should remain at home to help prevent the spread of communicable illnesses.
