Grad Class of 2025 Parent/Guardian Meeting

We will be hosting a Grad Class of 2025 Parent/Guardian Meeting at the school on Tuesday, Oct 1st, at 7:00 PM, in Room 205.
This meeting will be an opportunity to share important information about graduation including dates, fundraisers, and Safe Grad.
An important part of this meeting is also to establish a parent committee to plan Safe Grad, as this part of the day is not planned by staff. In order for a Safe Grad event to occur enough parents will need to commit to be a part of the planning committee. If anyone would like to chair this committee please attend the meeting on October 1st or reach out to leah.madrid@sjasd.ca. More information about what this entails will be provided at the Parent/Guardian Meeting.
All parents/guardians of this year's graduates are encouraged to attend.
Please enter through the parking lot doors off Rutland Avenue, as all other doors will be locked. The parking lot doors will be opened at 6:30 pm for entry.
