Dear Mahogany Families,  

We hope you are all enjoying some of the warmer temperatures. We are working closely with CBE Facilities and Grounds around next steps for the compound and playground area, which have been impacted by the portable installation. The area in and around the playground is expected to be paved over the coming months which will improve the safety and accessibility for students. We are looking forward to the completion of the project and will communicate updates, as they become available.

Grade 5 Transition Planning with Nickle & Lakeshore Schools  

We look forward to hosting staff from Nickle and Lakeshore Schools this week who will speak to students. Grade 5 students will have the opportunity to hear from the staff of their designated Grade 6 school. This is always an exciting time for students and families. Our Grade 5 teachers work hard to ensure that students are well prepared for their transition and work closely with staff of both schools to support student success in Grade 6. We look forward to celebrating all our Grade 5 students at the end of year farewell. More information will be shared from the Grade 5 teachers.
