Families Worrying Less Together

If you are a parent/primary caregiver of a student in Grade JK- 2 or Grade 3-8 who is excessively shy, or has intense worries and fears, come learn about the “Families Worrying Less Together” program. This program will give you practical strategies to help your child learn to cope differently. Please note: This program is for parents and primary caregivers, children do not attend.

Please join a board hosted information night via MS Teams on January 17, 2023 from either 12-1pm or 6-7pm to learn more about the Families Worrying Less Together program. For more information, click here: FWLT Info Night January 2023

School Lockdown Drill #2 – Friday, January 20th, 2023

Our school will be holding our second secure schools lockdown protocol drill, so that staff and students are prepared in case of an emergency on Friday January 20th. We appreciate the co-operation of our students and staff during the drill. It is also important that we all remain aware of secure schools terminology used in all of Ontario’s publicly funded schools.
