remembrance-dayWe will observe Remembrance Day on November 8, 2019; school will be closed November 11th.

Student Government and Visual and Performing Arts Department have prepared an assembly of remembrance for our students.

Assemblies will occur in period 2 in the North Gym.  The adjusted bell schedule is below.  Staff and Students who are on adjusted schedules (e.g.part-time, academies, ACE-IT) should attend whichever assembly aligns with their arrival at school; lunch will be delayed to accommodate both assemblies.

Donations for the Poppy Campaign will be collected in classrooms prior to students moving to the gym.  Your cash contributions will be gratefully accepted.

Students are reminded that the Remembrance Day Assemblies are solemn occasions.  Please do not applaud.  Instead, honour the Veterans, our guests, and our student organisers with your thoughtful silence.
