Yasu @MmeDamianakos? Thanks for posting such #PositiveQuotes for your wonderful students. Good luck. I am sure they did great. @ONeducation #assessment #learning #education

Buses 13 (v76) and 8 (v61) are cancelled this evening. Please pick up your child at the front of the building at 3:45. Sleepovers are not encouraged 😄

As many may already be aware, the power is out in our community. If you are picking up your child the process to locate them will take longer. Thank you for your patience!

If you are picking up your child today, please call the office when you arrive - the buzzer is not working.

Westwind families, are you looking for that long-lost mitt/ hat/ jacket? Parent council is putting out all our lost&found items in the bus loop for families to view Thursday May 12th 11am-2pm.

For Bear Witness day, EF3B brought their stuffies to class and learned about Jordan’s Principle and how Spirit Bear, the Children and @cblackst made history. Indigenous children deserve equal access to all services. We took “stuffy class photo”! @OCDSB @CaringSociety @WestwindPS
