Welcome back! We hope our students and families had a rejuvenating spring break with lots of love, laughter and fun! 


This month brings us swimming lessons for grades 1-4 and a few field trips. Please consider volunteering to assist if you are able – information below. We look forward to celebrating both Education Week and Support Staff Appreciation Week later in the month. 


Please note that there is school on Monday, April 6, following the Easter holiday weekend. I am mentioning it as this has been a non-instructional day in several years past.
