**Quality Counts**
If your child completed QC last year, but has moved up a division in grade (Junior grade 3-5, Intermediate (grade 6-8) and Senior (grade 9-12), they will need to renew their QC number. I can't pull kids out of class to complete this, but they are welcome to come in before/after school and lunch (grades 6-12) to work on it.
For more info, see Mrs. Martin. Don't wait until the last minute to complete this.
