Dear families and caregivers:

April has put us into high gear as we move towards the end of the school year. I lost momentum in communicating with you weekly, so I have even removed that word from the post title. Ms. Miranda’s Updates is a better reflective title for this message at this point. I might move to monthly updates – we will see what next year brings.

Have a wonderful week,
Ms. Carolina Miranda

Track and Field for Junior Grades: 

Track and Field is happening tomorrow for our Junior students! They have been practicing diligently and our staff has been looking forward to this day!

EQAO starts this week for our grade 3 friends. Please note that we try to keep interruptions to a minimum during our testing weeks, especially in the classrooms the test is happening.
