It’s definitely May!! Please pay special attention to end of the year dates and events that are happening during the school day (especially in June). While there is a lot of fun to be had, please make sure to take breaks when you can. It was such a fun evening of art, food, and plants last night. Great to see students and families enjoying an evening together. A HUGE shout out to Fergus for all the hard work in putting together the art show. The student work was truly amazing.

This spreadsheet is live and will reflect changes as students are identified after the Gr. 2 & 4 MDPC (April 29). the Middle School MDPC (April 2nd) and during the summer testing session. Make sure to check your school spreadsheet again in May and end of August for updated lists of students eligible for services or class placements.
