Classroom Moves
· The construction in the Arts wing has been completed
· As a result, we successfully transitioned classes that were occupying our science labs into their permanent classrooms
· This means that we are able to start offering labs once again for our science classes
· We will be moving 4 grade 8 classes out to the completed portables next week
· These new Annexes look great and are set up with the same technology and resources as all of our other classrooms
Recent Remarks From Premier Legault
· You may have heard that the Premier recently commented on the possibility of an extended Christmas break
· We have not had any clarifications nor communications from the Ministry of Education of this subject
· If/when we are given any directives or information, we will share it with our community
Have a great weekend!
