Highlights

  • Our Library is getting an upgrade: The school library will be transformed into a Library Learning Commons so that teachers and students can make better use of the space. We’ll hear about the planned changes and the related process.
  • 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.
  • How to make stuff happen: If you have a idea or a passion, Council can help you find people to collaborate with and give you the financial and communication supports your project needs. We’ll review the process so ideas can be ready for funding on November.

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