Planning for Next Year – Student Enrolment Intentions

As we begin planning for the next school year, we kindly ask families to inform us in writing if your child will not be returning to our school in 2026.

This information is essential for our staffing, class placements, and resource planning. If your child will be transferring to another school or program, please include the name of the destination in your written notice.
