October 2025
Principal’s Message
October has arrived, bringing with it the crisp air of autumn, vibrant foliage, and a renewed energy in our school community. As we settle into routines and embrace the changing season, I want to thank you for your continued support in making our school a warm and welcoming place for all.
With Halloween approaching, excitement is building among our students. It’s a wonderful time to celebrate creativity and imagination through costumes and festivities. As always, we encourage costumes that are fun and inclusive—please help your student choose attire that is culturally sensitive and respectful of all backgrounds. This is a great opportunity to have conversations at home about empathy, diversity, and the importance of honouring others’ identities.
Please note that Friday, October 24 is a Professional Activity Day. There will be no classes for students on that day as our staff engages in professional learning to further enhance teaching practices and student success.
