Thank you to all of our parent/guardian community for participating in our Meet the Staff evening last Thursday. The session gave us an opportunity to share our direction for the year, introduce some of our staff, and provide classroom information going forward. Our sessions for parents of grade 12 students put on by our student services department and 7&8 students supported by resource were well attended, and provided information and timelines regarding students in these grades. Thank you to our Show Choir staff supervisors for organizing our BBQ, and some of our students and Ms. MacConnell for the bake sale.
Our student services department would be happy to further discuss any of the student support options that we reviewed with parents at our evening. Please contact the school for further information.

The water at All Saints has been tested with no concern to the public. Please see additional information in the following letter.
