Code of Conduct

We are committed to listening to our Indigenous partners in education as we work to decolonize our school environment. In collaboration with the IEC, we have developed a code of conduct that reflects our shared values of inclusion and fairness.

Please take a moment to review this document with your child. Your support is appreciated as we continue building a respectful and inclusive school community.

Hot Lunch Program

 

We are excited to announce that we have hired a hot lunch coordinator and will soon be able to offer hot lunches and breakfasts again. Our hope is to have everything up and running by October.

Please keep your eye open for the new menu.
