Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year
Get ready for the new year with these key dates and times, school supply lists, and other information.
First Day of Classes
Please note that on these first days of school we will have a staggered entry to enhance the transition for our Grade 5 students.
- Grade 5 students will begin at the regular start time of 8:45 AM.
- Grade 6 through 9 students will only come for the afternoon (12:46 PM start).
- All grades (5-9) will end the day at the regular 3:15 PM dismissal.
Assigned Teachers
As you can appreciate, much work is done to build classes and we consider a multitude of factors to build balanced classes. This work continues right up until the day school starts! All students will receive an email of introduction from their homeroom teacher prior to the start of school. This email will serve as introduction, and will also outline processes for the first few days of school. If you do not receive an email from the school, please check your junk email.
