Principal’s Notes
May 31
Dear Parents,
Thank you for a wonderful year! Yesterday we celebrated the accomplishments of our grade eight students as they prepare to move on to high school. In addition to our promotion ceremony, grade eight students also exhibited works from their art-social studies social justice unit. Through their artwork, students demonstrated activism for social causes. Their explanations of social issues, need for advocacy and ability to represent their message through visual arts is a reminder of the internationalism and creativity developed in our program. Enjoy their artwork throughout this week’s blog!
Today, grades six and seven hosted student recognition ceremonies to recognize student’s individual growth and demonstration of the 4C’s of our mission. We thank you for your support of your children and our program this year. We are proud of the individual growth displayed by our students and by the collective accomplishments of our students.

· On initial enrollment or at the beginning of grade 3, 6, or 9, a physician-completed form must be provided.
· Students with significant allergies or on daily medication should also submit the annual form completed by a physician.
All forms are due by the end of the second week of school. Please contact the health office if you have a question about your child’s medical records.
