Attention 5th Grade Families
On Monday, April 22nd from 6-7pm, each middle school will host a Parent Panel. This is an optional event that will allow you to get to know more about your middle school as you start this exciting transition. 5th grade students and their parents/guardians are invited. Please attend the presentation at the middle school where your child is expected to attend. We hope that our Canterbury Families will attend and get off to a great start in their new D47 schools!!
Morning Car Drop Off Reminders
- The Kiss & Go Lane is for families who stay in their vehicles and their children are able to exit the vehicle independently and quickly. This is what the majority of our families will use.
- The Stop & Drop Lane is for families who get out of their vehicles briefly to help their children exit the vehicle or to say goodbye to their children outside of their vehicle. This is available for families that want this extra time so they don't feel rushed by using the other lane.
As always, if you need to enter the building, please park in the parking lot and enter through the front door.

During Literacy night and Open House, we will be collecting and selling gently used Canterbury spirit wear. Anyone who donates an item will receive a voucher for a FREE used spirit wear item.
