Next Year Planning – 2024-25 School Year
We have already begun the process of planning our 2024-2025 school year. Each year we work to create class groups that support each student’s learning.
We try to maintain class cohorts moving from grade six to grade seven, and from grade eight to grade nine but that isn’t always possible.
Sometimes it is necessary to reorganize class groups based on numbers or student dynamics. If you have a request for your child’s class next year that has an educational basis, it will be considered. We welcome parent input as part of the process in developing class lists but the final decision rests with the school.
Please email your designated Assistant Principal by March 1 with any requests:
Surnames from A-L – Sonia Aujla-Bhullar
Surnames from M-Z – Lisa Chippure
Additionally, please contact the office at (403) 817-3300 if you are planning to move or transfer your child to a different school for the 2024-2025 school year. Informing us of your plans will facilitate the smoothest transition possible.
