Back to School Basics

We want our families to find comfort knowing that our senior admin team is working through the summer months to prepare and be proactive as we move into the new school year. It is our promise that safety and wellness in our schools will continue to be our main priority. Re-Entry updates will be shared with families as information is shared from Alberta Education and the Chief Medical Officer of Health.
