Weekly Update - June 1, 2025
Good morning,
It’s hard to believe that we’re already entering the final month of the school year! As we reflect on the year so far, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our families and school community for your continued support. A special shout-out goes to everyone who helped make our Grade 9 School Leaving Carnival such a memorable even. It was a fantastic evening filled with laughter, celebration, and lasting memories for our students.
As we look ahead to the last few weeks of school, there are many exciting activities planned to help close out the year on a high note. Alongside these celebrations, students will be wrapping up assessments and preparing for final evaluations. We encourage students and families to reach out to their teachers or the school with any questions as we look to finish the year Phoenix strong!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Chromebook Forms - Grade 6
During the 2025-2026 school year, our current grade 6 students will be provided the opportunity to receive a department issued chromebook for use for the remainder of their schooling. Information regarding chromebooks has been included below. Fillable forms are available through our RYCOR system. Families are asked to carefully review the contract and complete forms through RYCOR by Thursday, June 19th.

With final exams around the corner we will be offering extra study hall sessions for students who wish to review for exams or catch up on work in other subjects. Extra help is available for the following subjects:
