July’s Principal’s Message
Dear Parents,
Well, that’s a wrap! Lockers have been cleaned, exams have been written and graduates have been honored. In the blink of an eye, we say goodbye to the 2016-17 school year and what an extraordinary year it has been. Thank you to everyone who supported our students, staff and families as we journeyed through this amazing year.
To our many graduates and parents, who will be leaving Notre Dame this year, it has been an honour and a pleasure to have been part of your educational experience and we wish you God’s blessings as you begin the next chapter in your lives.
Timetables will be available on Power School August 21. Timetable changes have already been completed during exam week, therefore there will no timetable changes during picture days unless the student:
-completed a summer school course and needs it removed from their schedule
-they were not successful in a course and need to retake it
-they are missing a Graduation requirement.
Important dates to remember are:
August 23- Gr 12 timetable pick up and picture day
August 24- Gr 11 timetable pick up and picture day
August 25- Gr 10 timetable pick up and picture day
On behalf of the entire Notre Dame staff, we would like to thank you for a fabulous school year and wish you a safe and fun filled summer holiday.
God Bless,
Rose McQuay
Principal
