Parking
Important Information: It has come to our attention that parents are picking up and dropping off in the back alley adjacent to our school, this is a safety issue and can not continue. Please use our North parking lot for parking or out front of the school for drop and go if drivers must remain in their vehicles. Please be considerate of our neighbours across the street and leave that parking for residents only.

Do you have any old or used greeting cards laying around the house? We would love to take them off your hands! We have a wonderful volunteer who wants to make bookmarks for each of our students out of these recycled cards. Cards can be sent to school with your child and will be collected at the office. Thank you so much for your donation!
