HS Schedule Change Conversation:
You received an email about your HS Schedule on Thursday, May 21.
If a student wishes to discuss potential changes they need to visit the HS Counseling office during lunch and Explore on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
From the Activities Office: 🚨 Attention all athletes! 🚨
Jersey return is officially overdue! If you still have yours, please return to the Activities Office ASAP.
Hey there, superstars!
Ms. Pike has been keeping a secret, but it’s finally time to let the cat out of the bag! We are thrilled to announce that next year’s Grade 7–12 musical will be the timeless, heart-warming classic... 🏔️ The Sound of Music! 🏔️
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a shower-singer looking for your big break, there is a place for you in this show. From the iconic songs you already know by heart to the incredible story of the von Trapp family, this is going to be a production you won’t want to miss.
See you on stage! 🎭✨
Field Rule Update: You Slide, You Leave
We love seeing students on the football field, but safety has to come first. We are still seeing slide tackles, which are simply too dangerous for our school environment. To keep the game fun and safe for everyone, we are implementing a new, non-negotiable rule: You slide, you leave.
How it works:
The Action: If a teacher or supervisor sees what they believe is a slide tackle, your play is over for the day and you can't play the next day either.
The Exit: Recess Red Card! There will be no arguments and no discussion. If you are asked to leave, you must step off the field immediately (arguing could make the consequence bigger).
This isn't about getting you in trouble; it's about keeping the game moving and everyone’s ankles safe.
Let’s keep the game fun and the players on their feet!
ALL Middle School students can use the cafe.
Things to remember:
The cafe is ONLY AVAILABLE TO MS DURING LUNCH
MS students should NOT be there during breaks
This is a quiet area - people 5m away should NOT understand your conversation
Drop in a "Just Because" for someone who has made a difference for you :)

We have officially reached the end of this school year! While the summer countdown has begun, we still have a few days of learning and celebrating all the incredible growth you’ve shown this year.
To ensure this last week is a highlight for everyone, let’s keep our expectations high. The energy is high right now, but remember to treat every interaction as an opportunity to leave a positive impression. Whether it’s in the hallways, on the field, or in the classroom, show everyone the best version of yourself.
Thank you for all the grit, humor, and hard work you’ve poured into this year. You’ve made this community what it is.
To those returning next year: Have an amazing break! Rest up, and I can’t wait to see how much taller (and wiser) you are when you walk back through these doors.
To those moving on: Good luck on your next adventure! You are ready for whatever comes next. Don’t be a stranger - once a scorpion, always a scorpion.
Let's make these final days count and finish this year on the highest note possible!
