Hello students and parents.
Second semester marks are in and students will be receiving their report cards on Friday, February 4th. If you have any comments, questions on concerns about the report card, please send me an email, mcmcguire@edu.pe.ca, or contact me at the school. Our third semester has begun and ends on April 15, 2011. I would encourage all students to be responsible in completing and passing in their classwork and/or any assignments over the semester.
