New Flexible Learning Space
We are excited to share a change happening in our school! Due to a smaller enrollment this year, we have two classrooms available. Our two Grade 2 French Immersion classes will be moving from their larger shared space into these classrooms. This adjustment will allow us to make the larger area into a flexible learning space—a place that can be used in creative ways to support student learning and collaboration across grades. We look forward to sharing this new space with you the next time you visit the school!
