Classes begin for all grades on Wednesday September 1, 2010 at 8:45 a.m.
It will not be necessary for our current elementary students to come to a registration session to pay fees as payment forms were sent home with students and mailed to new families in mid-June.
Grades 7 to 12 registration confirmations will be held in the South Gym (accessible from the new front doors on 108 Avenue), as per the schedules below. To assist parents in determining payment required on registration day, Lists are availalbe on Schoolzone. Payment may be made by cash, cheque, debit, Visa, or Mastercard. Parents who are registering students in more than one grade may do so all at one time.
During registration, both Junior & Senior High School students must have their student ID and yearbook photos taken. At this time, students will have the opportunity to purchase photo packages. Cheques must be made payable to Lifetouch Canada and accompany the order form which will be available in the fall.
Elementary students’ photos will be taken in September. Further information will be sent home with these students when school begins.
