Celebration of Learning

We invite all families to join us for our Year End Celebration of Learning in the Gym on June 29 at 10:00am. This is a celebration of all classrooms together. We hand out School Board awards and Memorial awards, as well as say farewell to our Grade Five students.
We would just like to remind everyone of good social media ediquette before our year end event:


At the beginning of the school year, all families are asked to give consent for the use of their child’s image by school staff for the purpose of celebrating their achievements and promoting school events. There are some families who prefer their child’s image not be broadcast on websites or social media. The school respects this parental decision and refrains from publishing photographs or video of those students.


At school events such as concerts, assemblies and other celebrations where parents and family members are invited to attend as guests, the expectation for privacy is different. It is understood that families like to capture these special memories on photo and video and that when recording your own child, there are times when you capture images of other children as well.


We are respectfully asking all families to carefully consider how those photos and videos are used after leaving the school. If you choose to post online (Twitter, Instagram, etc.) pictures of your child that have been taken at a school event, please ensure that other children’s images are not in those photos.


When we teach our students about digital citizenship, we teach them that each individual owns his/her image and that one does not have the right to use those images without that person’s permission. Please respect the right of each family to choose when and how their children’s images appear online.
