Principal's Message
We hope you had a good weekend as we head into the final four days until Spring break.
We are pleased to share our 2025-26 Course Handbook with our school community. To our returning students and families currently in grade 7 and 8, please take a look at all the course catalogue over the next couple of weeks. When we return from Spring break, a detailed description of how to register will be sent out.

Our graduating grade 9 students had both Salisbury and Bev Facey visit this past Friday with conversations around each respective school’s course offerings and programming. All Grade 9’s were given a registration planning sheet and both Salisbury and Bev Facey will be back on Thursday, April 3 to help them register in PowerSchool.
Congratulations to our Junior Girls’ basketball team who captured the silver medal in league showdowns. Also, good luck to our Senior Boys’ basketball team as they play in the final this Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at SAL.
This week is further highlighted by Parent-Student-Teacher interviews on Tuesday from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. If you were unable to attend this round of interviews, please do not hesitate to contact your teacher should you have any questions with your child’s progress.
