With the CP "Holiday Train" coming through Yorkton on Monday, Dec. 4 (from 12:00-1:00), we would like to share this experience with our 5/6ME class.  Some information was sent home yesterday.  Please sign and return the permission form by Thursday, Nov. 30.

The Term 1 report cards will be handed-out Friday, Dec. 1.  As a result, the Term 1 parent-teacher-student interviews will follow on Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Thursday, Dec. 7.  Some information was sent home yesterday.  Please contact the school ASAP about any changes.
