Highlights

  • Budget Re-Allocations: Our budget was allocated to our many committees and initiatives in November. Now that we are about halfway through the budget year (November to November) we will revisit the allocations to ensure that our efforts are most effective and that new ideas can be pursued.
  • Principal’s Update: Every School Council meeting includes an update from our Principal with time for questions. It’s casual and informative and a great way — especially for new families — to understand how the school runs and how to get information and help.

If you cannot attend or prefer to ask questions anonymously, please submit your questions here.
