We hope you are all well and that you had a great summer break! We are working very hard for your return to school and want to share some important information as we prepare to safely welcome you back.
Due to Covid-19, many schools have had to find alternative ways to recognize and celebrate our student's milestones. We are planning to present our larger awards to deserving receipients next Wednesay evening. The following awards will be presented: The Leadership Award, The Outstanding Student Award, The Turnaround Achievement Award, Male and Female Athlete of the Year (Elementary and Middle), Elementary Unsung Hero Award, The Mary Harper Award (for school participation), The Agnus Fowlie Award (kind and caring award), and The Bucket Filler Award (Elementary kindness).
Dear Families, we are trying our best to prepare for next year, and at this point their are still many questions left unanswered. But what we do know is that students will still require school supplies! As in the past, for our K-3 students, families where asked to pay a fee and the teachers purchased the necessary materials that they preferred for their students based on years of experience that they felt has the largest benefit for students (colour coded duotangs, specific brands of material that are of better quality, etc.).
Over the past 9 years, Devon has matured into a well-rounded, mature young man who will be missed by both staff and students at MRS. His work ethic and dedication are sure to help him with his studies at JMH. In his earlier years he was timid and quiet, which made him vulnerable to falling behind, but over the years he gained confidence in his abilities that made him more comfortable asking for help and asking key questions. He is certainly a genuine, caring and kind young man and one who can be described as "an old soul". We wish you nothing but the best, Devon!
Hi everyone! Well, it's hard to believe, but the end of the school year is coming to an end. Friday is the last official day for this year! It certainly has been one to remember.
With that being said, arrangements to pick-up report cards will be made in a similar way to when student belongings were picked up. The date for report card pickup will be next Friday, June 19th. More information will be made available in the next few days.

Dear Families, pick-up of your child's school belongings will take place on Monday, May 4th. This will be a contact less pick-up. We will ask that you drive around the bus circle and pull up to the area marked by cones. There will be staff out to help direct traffic. Once you pull up to the designated parking spot, we will ask that you open your trunk and a staff member will place belongings in your trunk. We will ask that you remain in your car.
Families with no access to technology are eligible to sign up to receive an education supplement through a Saturday newspaper. The goal is to provide this at lease two times per month at no cost to the family. The supplement will feature materials on Learning Resources sites. The first edition is scheduled for the May 2nd paper. The deadline for the first addition is today at 5pm. If interested, call 1-844-615-7542.
Dear families, next week you will be able to come to the school to pick-up your child or children's belongings. You will be contacted by the end of this week and given a scheduled pick-up time. Please respect this pick-up time. If you are not available during the given time, please contact Miss Vienneau for an alternate date or time.
Good afternoon families. We wanted to inform you that EECD would like to collect information from our schools related to access to technology and internet connection. We would really appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to respond to this survey. The survey will come in the form of a voicemail from district and will only consist of 4 questions, so please, don't hang up. Your responses will be used for future decision making. We thank you for your help with this.
