Recognizing Achievement as We Approach Year-End
As we enter the final two months of the school year, I want to recognize the achievements of our students and the commitment of our staff to learning and growth. Our focus now is on strong learning right through June, while also supporting students as they prepare for the transition to the next grade or a new school.
This is an important time to deepen understanding, celebrate progress, and finish the year with purpose.

Sept. 30 deadline, Trustees would appreciate receiving the report prior to the end of June. The School Council Handbook provides more information and a report template.
