Welcome Back & Meet the Teacher Night!

Posted on September 22, 2022September 22, 2022 by mcallisterc

Welcome back everyone!

 

After 3 years of change, of pivots, of masks, and arrows on hallway floors, what a sense of rejuvenation to return this year to our first taste of a normal school year!  We are wishing you all a beautiful fall, with good health and wellness and cannot wait to make this year even more magical than the last!

Last night, we hosted in-person Meet the Teacher evening, and many parents descended upon the building from our new grade 8 class, but also from classes ranging from grades 9 to 10 who had not yet been able to be within the inside of our building.  We shook hands, we toured our school, we chatted, and we saw each others’ faces.  Such joy!  It was an absolute pleasure meeting with you all and we hope to see you all out at our various events throughout the year.

Please know that should you ever have any questions and were unable to attend, or thought of something else after you left, we are always just a phone call or email away.  I will post our emails here for you should you wish to reach out:
