Playground Update

Following an annual playground inspection by the Board, two areas of our playground—the swings and the log jam—did not meet safety requirements. As a result, these areas will be closed until repairs or alterations can be made. Please know that this decision was made with student safety as the top priority.

In the meantime, students will continue to have access to our other play spaces. Administration will be working closely with School Council to create a plan of action to address the situation and ensure that these play areas can be safely reopened as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to keep our playground safe for everyone.
