Victoria Day Weekend – School Closed
Both Campuses are closed Friday, May 15th and Monday, May 18th, for Professional Development and the May long weekend.
All Aboard Catering Kids – Main Campus
It is with great anticipation and excitement that we announce a trial week at our campus this month with All Aboard Catering Kids! Your child’s nutritional needs could be covered during the week of May 25th. Yes, this means that you would only need to send a water bottle with your child to school this week! Please know that this is OPTIONAL and not required to be part of, just like the Hot Lunch Program we do on Wednesdays.
The sign-up form has been sent over to Brightwheel. The Menu can be found on the second page. Also, the menu has been shared through “Shared Files” on Brightwheel for easier “check-back” access.
