Dear Parents & Guardians,
We have two important and time sensitive announcements/reminders:
- Despite the cold weather, our Parent Council and Parent Advisory Council meetings will still take place today at 4 PM in the main office conference room. We invite you to join us as we discuss updates and happenings at the school.
- Cinderella Project is now known as GRADitude project. In 2025, Youth Central is proud to open the Project to youth of all genders, offering a limited number of suits alongside dresses. If you are a grade 12 grad, please come see your guidance counsellor to have your name added to the list for this great opportunity.
(If you are unsure about your graduation status, please check-in with your Guidance counsellor on your progress to complete high school)
Friendly reminder that we also have a Professional Development (PD) day on Friday. There will be no school for students on this day.
Sincerely,
Jack James Admin
