Empowering a community of diverse, lifelong learners
School information:
School Development Surveys: School Development Surveys are conducted annually to gather feedback from students, staff, and parents/guardians to inform the school development process. The survey results will be provided to your child’s school and used with other data to identify the school’s strengths and challenges. Your child’s school will then create and implement a plan to build on successes and address areas of challenge.
The survey is anonymous, which means that we cannot connect your survey responses to you. We encourage everyone to participate so that we have the most accurate representation of family perceptions at your school.
Please complete the survey by April 4th, 2025 . Please access the survey by clicking the Appropriate link below:
Family Teacher Interviews: On Friday, March 21st your child's report card for Term 2 will be sent home. We will be using OPTIS (Online Parent Teacher Interviews Scheduler) once again to book appointments.
Students will be dismissed at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 27. Our interviews will be taking place from 12:00 pm - 3:30 pm and from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm. Families will be given the option to have a virtual meeting or in person meeting. In the event that there are any issues with technology or meeting links at the time of scheduled interviews, contact will be made with families to arrange an alternate meeting time.
We kindly ask that our families book no more than 4 interviews with your child’s subject based teachers. If families are unsuccessful in securing an interview time, please inform the teacher and alternate arrangements can be discussed. You will be able to book appointments beginning on Friday, March 21 at 2:30 pm. The system will remain open until Wednesday, March 26 at 2:30 pm .
