Welcome Back to School!
We are looking forward to welcoming all of our students on the first day of school – Wednesday, September 6th! Please read our Opening Day Schedule. Please note that our focus for the morning is Grade 9 Orientation to ensure their successful transition into secondary school. For students in grades 10 to 12, you are not required to be at school until 11:50 a.m.
All grades will receive a timetable in their period A class on the first day of school (Wed. Sept. 6th). We suggest you take a picture of it on your phone for reference. Grade 9s will have received a copy in the mail however they will get a second copy on the first day.
Students in grades 10 to 12 will find alphabetical lists posted outside the office, the front foyer area and in the gym area. These lists will include your period A classroom number. When you arrive over the lunch period look for your name on the list and proceed to your period A classroom. Your period A teacher will distribute your timetable, which you will follow for the rest of the afternoon. Our regular daily schedule and school map can be found on the right side of the website. Please note that we will be running a week one and a week two schedule in which the afternoon periods flip.
| Week One | Week Two | |
| Period 1 | A | A |
| Period 2 | B | B |
| Lunch | ||
| Period 3 | C | D |
| Period 4 | D | C |
Students in our ACE Classes will have a full day of instruction, beginning at 8:15 am. Please check for your bus start date. A free pizza lunch will be provided to you.
Lockers will be assigned beginning on Thursday, September 7th. Please be prepared with your numerical combination lock. You are required to share your combination with the office to receive a locker. You will not be assigned a locker until you have a lock in hand. We do not sell locks for lockers. We encourage students to get a locker to ensure a place for them to keep their outerwear, phys ed and team clothing, valuables, and school materials.
