Beginning Thursday, students will enter through the same exterior door they used when leaving on Wednesday.
Middle School Students (Grades 6-8) will report directly to their new homeroom class and begin their regular Day 1 / Day 2 schedule rotations.
School Supplies
School supplies for Kindergarten to Grade 5 students have been purchased by the school.
In September, families will be asked to contribute to the cost of these supplies:
Kindergarten: $60
Grades 1 – 5: $65
Supply fees can be paid online through SD33 QuickPay, available on our school website. Payment information and instructions for using QuickPay will be emailed home once classes are finalized.
For students in Grades 6-8, families are asked to refer to the posted grade-level supply lists available on our school website under School Information > School Supply Lists.
It is important that all students are organized and prepared for learning. Please ensure that all required school supplies are ready and brought to the school by the second day of classes (September 9).
Additional teacher-specific supplies may be requested. Students will be informed of any additional items during the first few weeks of September.
Please note: Classes who plan to use the school planners in Grades 3 – 8 will have an $8 fee added to their account.
