Friendly Reminders
We have had a fantastic start to the school year as students settle into their schedules. We would like to remind students and families about the importance of regular attendance. In order for teachers to accurately assess student learning, tasks must be completed in class and not only submitted online. 

Many of the issues we deal with at as a school originate online in group chats or on social media. If students are aware of or involved in a conflict, it is important that they share this with a trusted adult. As a school we committed to maintaining confidentiality and ensuring that all students feel safe when at school.
