Come for a Visit
The best way to learn about our school is to come for a visit! Each tour begins with an information session led by our principal, Jolene Anderson. Next a parent guide, often joined by a 5th grader, will show you the school building. You’ll have a chance to see our teachers in action, meet some students, and ask questions. We recommend allowing about 90 minutes for the visit.
Evening Open House: We will offer one evening information session and open house. The program will include a presentation by our principal and a few teachers, and an opportunity to see a few classrooms.
Please note that the tours and open house are intended for adults, not children. However, if you have an infant or young child who you need to bring along, that is absolutely fine.
To help us plan, please register here.
