JUNE BULLETIN

May 30, 2025

June has arrived, and with it, the final leg of the school year. Moratorium and exams are just around the corner, our last School Council is happening on the 10th, and several of our teams are headed to OFSAA — a great way to close out the season. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or needs as we wrap things up and head toward summer.


FROM THE MAIN OFFICE

  • Contact information for admin is listed below should you require further support after contacting the main office, classroom teacher, guidance, special education and/or student success:

    • A detailed email was sent on Monday May 26 with more information including ticket information.
    • Diplomas will be distributed at Commencement.  If a student is not attending, they can pick up their diploma in the main office from Wednesday July 2nd- Friday July 11th, 9am-3pm.

Schools are prohibited from mailing diplomas.

Final schedule will be sent out shortly.
