Queridas familias,

I am writing to share an update regarding the Assistant Principal position at our school.

Beginning June 1, and continuing for the remainder of the school year, Sra. Paulina Villarreal will assume the role of Acting Assistant Principal.

We are pleased to welcome Sra. Villarreal into this leadership role. Sra. Villarreal is a valued member of our school community and brings strong relationships, professionalism, and a deep commitment to student learning and well-being. We are confident she will provide excellent support to students, staff, and families during this transition.

To ensure a smooth transition, the following plan is in place:

May 25 – May 29
Sra. Villarreal will work closely with Sra. Moreau to ensure continuity of school routines, operations, and student supports.

While serving in the Acting Assistant Principal role, Paulina will also continue supporting classrooms in implementing literacy strategies using the Neurolinguistic Approach to language acquisition.

Please join me in congratulating Paulina on this new role and welcoming her to the administrative team.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Mike Scott

Principal

Jump Rope for Heart

Jump Rope 4 Heart is a program that encourages students to get active by jumping rope while raising money for heart and brain research. It is a way for students to learn about healthy habits and the importance of physical activity as part of living a healthy lifestyle. As part of our wellness curriculum, students will practice skipping, learn about healthy foods, and heart health.

The program will kick off on May 20 and will run until June 19, 2026. Our goal is to raise $2000. This year we will be doing online donation only. Families may choose to create their own online account for their child using the QR code sent home or may donate through the school website: https://jumpropeforheart.crowdchange.ca/119333

Each week we will have a goal of raising $400 with fun Spirit Booster Activities.

Weekly Spirit Boosters:

  • May 22: PJ Day
  • May 29: Picnic outside for super snack
  • June 5: Crazy Hair Day
  • June 12: Heart Display
  • June 19: Wear Red

On June 19, 2026, we will come together as a school to celebrate Jump Rope 4 Heart in combination with Sports day.
