Hello and welcome to the new school year!
I hope you're excited for the year ahead. I want to share the Minister of Education's best wishes for a successful 2025-2026 for you, your teachers, and your families.
Our school board has a new supervisor, Mr. Robert Plamondon, who is here to help us make sure our board is stable and that every dollar goes toward supporting you in your classes and school. We are already working together to make sure we're focused on what's most important: your success.
Just this week, all our school leaders—from principals to staff—met to get ready for the year. It was inspiring to see everyone working together with so much dedication. We are all committed to making sure your school is a place where you can learn, grow, and feel supported.
We are ready for a great year!
