Prom/Grad Safety Tips for Parents...details

No Questions Asked Safe Driving Contract

School Council meetings are held in the school library.  All parents/guardians are welcome to attend.  Visit the School Council page for more information. 

Peabutter/Sunbutter Spreads - These products are almost identical in colour, consistency, smell and taste to peanut butter. Schools cannot be expected to monitor for student safety when it is impossible to differentiate between the two. Therefore, the Board is requesting that parents do not send their children to school with look alike products to peanut butter, until the products are available in a colour other than tan.
