Spring Concert 2026! (Grades 4-6) 

It’s finally here! The Division 2 students, along with Mr. Clarke and Ms. Sinclair, have been working hard since Spring Break to bring you a wonderful Spring Concert. 

There will be two performances on Thursday, April 30, 2026: 

  • 1:30 p.m. Performance 
    Division 1 students and Kindergarten classes will attend this performance, along with families. 
  • 6:30 p.m. Performance 
    Seating will be limited, so we kindly ask that only two family members per student attend this evening's performance. 

Important Information for Attendees 

  • Please note that no phones or recording devices will be allowed at either performance, as the concert will be professionally recorded. 
  • Doors will open 15 minutes before each performance. 
    Please gather at the main doors by the car park, and staff will welcome you inside at the designated time. 
  • For the evening performance, there will be a concession stand selling candy. All proceeds will support the Grade 6 Farewell Party, organized by the Grade 6 Farewell Committee. 

We look forward to sharing this special event with you and celebrating the hard work of our students! 

 

Update: 2026-2027 Instructional Calendar: 

An updated version of the 2026-2027 Instructional Calendar has been finalized and posted.  

Changes included: 

  • The non-instructional day previously identified for Friday, Oct. 23, 2026, was moved to Monday, Oct. 19, 2026, to accommodate the provincial referendum that would see schools utilized as polling sites.  

  

We Need Your Input – Friend Selection for 2026 –2027 School Year 

As we begin planning class placements for the upcoming school year, we invite families to provide input regarding positive peer connections for their child. 

Please list 1–5 students who you believe would be positive learning partners for your child—peers who help them stay focused, motivated, and engaged in learning. 

While we cannot guarantee placement with all requested students, we will make every effort to ensure your child is placed with at least one or two preferred peers to support a successful and positive learning environment. 

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. Your input is valued and appreciated. Click the link below. Deadline to complete the form is May 8, 2026.
