Please be advised that effective Tuesday, September 6th our school day will be changing.

As part of our commitment to keeping our school yard safe, we will be changing the make-up of our nutrition breaks.  Each break will now be divided into two parts, with the K-4 students inside while the grade 5-8 students are outside, and then each group will switch places.  Both nutrition breaks will be 40 minutes in length.  (See below for more details)

As well, our school start time will be 10 minutes later than this year.  Although the day will now be 10 minutes shorter, we will still have the same 3-100 minute instructional blocks as we do now.
