August 24, 2021


Grade 9 Orientation is set to go on Thursday this week. You all should have received a confirmation email informing you of whether you are invited to the morning or afternoon session. If not, please feel free to contact the main office Administrator Melissa Martin, at 519-376-4278, ext 102 or by email at [email protected] to find out.


Each session is a 90 minute block with their teacher and homeroom classmates in order to reduce contact and stay in cohorts as directed by the Public Health Unit. The session times are as follows:


Morning Session:  9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Afternoon Session:  1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
