We invite you to our Student-Led Conferences on Wednesday, March 5, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM. Unlike previous conferences, teachers will be available in their classrooms to discuss your child’s progress in Semester 2, rather than in the gymnasium.

In addition to the student-led conferences, we are offering several informative presentations to support students during key transition periods. Whether your child is preparing for post-secondary education or selecting courses for the next school year, we hope you find these sessions valuable.
