​As we come to the end of our school year, I am overcome with feelings of gratitude for this staff, these students and this community of families.  When we opened the school back in September for the first time, I am not sure anyone was certain about what the year ahead would look like – a school with a late start, a new school with all the affordances and challenges that come with it, all amidst a global pandemic that forced us to look at whole new ways of being and teaching while trying to keep students and families healthy and safe.
And here we are at the end of the school year.  I am exceedingly proud of the teachers and support staff in the way they adapted and found new ways to bring curriculum to life and to support learners through the year.  I am immensely grateful to our families for the support, encouragement, and partnership in bringing this place to life and the incredible faith and trust you placed in us to do right by these children.  And I am astounded by the children who not only adapted but thrived, making connections to their learning and to each other, all the while approaching each day and each situation with perseverance, determination, and joy.  I can think of no other reward better than being able to be a part of their lives each day as they grow and learn. 
So thank you to each and everyone of you for these gifts.  Siyisgaas.
Two last items of business.  Today is the last day to put in your orders for yearbooks.  Click here for more information.  And finally, our playground is in the last stages of construction.  We are in the process of putting in the surface after which it will be inspected.  Once that is completed and the safety fences are down, it will be open for play.  I will try and send an email out with the good news when it happens.
Our office will now be closed until August 27, 2021.  You are welcome to leave a message or send us an email but we cannot guarantee an immediate response. ​
