We are looking forward to having all our students back in the building starting on Thursday, September 1st. This includes all of our Kindergarten to Grade 8 students.

Our Kindergarten program is every morning, Monday through Friday. The Kindergarten day ends at 11:45. 

Our pre-K program begins September 12th and runs every afternoon from Monday through Thursday. This program requires application. We also offer an afternoon Michif kindergarten class Monday through Friday, and a morning Michif pre-K class which runs Monday through Thursday.

Our Free Breakfast and $2 lunch programs will begin on Tuesday, September 6th. Lunch supervision is available starting Thursday, September 1st.

We ask that as much as possible, families refrain from picking students up early as it creates disruption to learning times. If you are planning to pick a student up early, you must contact the office directly.
