FAQ

• We do ongoing testing and assessments to identify if a child requires additional support. This can be in the form of small group in-class as well as one-on-one support with a Student Support Services teacher. If a further need is identified while monitoring a student’s progress there is also the possibility of additional programs such as NILD, ILS & IEPs. For more information on these programs please contact the school.

• How do parents stay informed of school activities?


• There are a variety of ways that we try to keep parents and the school community informed of both everyday activities as well as special events. This includes a school calendar of events for an overview of upcoming activities. We also publish a weekly newsletter called the Weekly Messenger where general school news and updates from the classrooms are available. This is sent home with the children and posted online.
