Information for Faculty and Staff
Congratulations!  We have completed 1 month of school!  Thank you to everyone for your efforts to help get the school year going smoothly.
We have many trainings coming up in the next few weeks.  Thanks to those who have already secured subs!  Please let us know if you need help in finding someone!
PTT Update:  We have hired a new PTT for the Grades 2, 4 and 5 STEM position.  It will take several weeks to get her cleared, so Ms. Christina Asencios will be covering the blocks until then.  Thank you for your patience and thank you Christina and Liane for the coverage!
Enjoy the 4 day week!
