Happy Summer!

The school is now officially closed for the summer due to the renovations that are taking place. Please note, due to the Ontario Ministry of Labour rules, no one is permitted access to the school, including staff and CMES families. Therefore, voice messages will not be checked and pick up of forgotten items are not possible. We apologize for this inconvenience, but are very much looking forward to a renovated CMES. Have a fun and safe summer with your family.

The board has asked us to share the following information with you about school organizations for this September:
