Dear Families,

Please remember to check our school website regularly for updated news and events. As part of the website, you will also have access to our school calendar with important dates.

Well Wishes

In the absence of Ms. Koerner, Mr. Childs has stepped in to teach the grade 3/4 class. Mr. Childs is dedicated to ensuring continuity in your children’s education during this transitional period.

While we work diligently to find a permanent replacement for Ms. Koerner and Mr. Barker, please rest assured that our priority is to provide a smooth and seamless transition for all the students. We are committed to working together as a team to maintain the quality of education and support that your children deserve.
