Pride Month

Across Canada, June is recognized as PrideMonth. It’s a time to celebrate love and inclusivity, and for the global LGBTQIA+ community to embrace who they are. 

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada

This is an opportunity to learn about the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis. It's a time to honor the stories, achievements and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose presence continues to impact the evolving Canada. The House of Commons designated June as National Aboriginal History Month in 2009. The name was changed to National Indigenous History Month in 2017.  Click here to learn more.

Bus Safety

Ensuring our students' safety is a top priority, and that includes their travel to and from school. School buses are a safe mode of transportation, but it's crucial that children understand and follow safety rules. Please take a few moments to review these essential bus safety guidelines with your child:

• Wait Safely: Always wait for the bus at the designated stop, standing back from the curb until the bus comes to a complete stop.

• Boarding and Exiting: When boarding or exiting, use the handrail and avoid pushing or shoving.

• Danger Zone: Remind your child to stay out of the "danger zone" around the bus, which is the area immediately surrounding the bus where the driver may not be able to see them.

• Crossing the Street: If your child needs to cross the street, they should always cross in front of the bus, never behind it, and only when the bus driver signals that it's safe.

• Staying Seated: While the bus is in motion, children should remain seated and keep their arms and head inside the bus.

• Respecting the Driver: Children should always follow the bus driver's instructions and avoid distracting them.
