Supply Lists
Check out these links for supply lists to prepare for the year:
Grade 5 & 6 Grade 7 Grade 8 Grade 9
Homeroom assignments
Homeroom assignments will be available in PowerSchool on Tuesday September 2. A great deal of time and thought has been put into creating homeroom classrooms. A range of factors were considered to ensure the best possible learning environment for our students. Changes to homerooms will not be considered unless extenuating circumstances arise. Not being with your best friend is not a reason. We have almost 600 students and cannot accommodate these type of changes.
Cafeteria (aka Snack Shack) Open Monday to Thursday starting September 3
Check out the weekly Snack Shack menu located under "Culture & Environment" > "Health & Well-Being" > "Cafeteria & Menu"
Grade 7 – 9 Options
Grade 7 to 9 students will receive a print out of their daily timetable on Wednesday September 3. Changes to Grade 7-9 options will be considered starting Wednesday, September 10 through an option change form that parents/guardians must sign.
