As we move to the final two months of school we are happy to see so many families making the most of the better weather and spending time at our playgrounds and field after school. We love that our community makes use of our shared spaces before and after school! 

We would like to remind everyone that once students are dismissed and have connected with their adult after school, we cannot always accommodate answering the doorbell for washroom visits and forgotten items. Although we are still in the building, the doorbell is not monitored, and we are often in meetings. We encourage all students to take the belongings they need and use the washroom prior to exiting if they are planning to stay at the playground with their families. Thank you!
