Welcome Back 2024-2025!
We are excited to welcome our existing families and our many new families who will be joining us to a new school year!
Here is some information regarding the start of the year:
First Day Back: The first day back for students in Grades 1-8 is Tuesday, September 3. This will be a half day (morning only) from 8:40-11:40am. Students will be assigned to classrooms on September 3; however, due to the changing nature of our school’s student numbers and changes in staffing allocations, some changes to classroom compositions may have to be made later. Hopefully this will not be the case, but we really appreciate your support and understanding. Full day classes start Wednesday, September 4 (8:40-3:10). Kindergarten students have a staggered start and times have been communicated by the classroom teachers.
Pick-up at the End of the Day: Due to congestion in the hallways, please wait for your children outside at the school at the end of the day. Teachers of the younger grades will bring the children outside to meet you.
Class Lists: On the morning of September 3, class lists will be placed outside each boot room door and on classroom doors. Please know that careful consideration went into placing each child and that it is a complex process based on many factors. Thank you for your support and trust in our school team and please know changes are extremely difficult if not impossible to make after classrooms are set.
Supplies: Please have your child bring school supplies on September 3. Student supply lists are available on our website at https://www.gscs.ca/kat/page/1527/school-supplies.
Bussing: Bus students who were registered last year do not need to re-register. New bus registrants should hear from the bus driver regarding pick-up time and location before school starts.
Before and After School Program: For those who have already registered, Golden Rule Before and After School Program will be available the afternoon on September 3rd for childcare. Information can be found at www.goldenrulesaskatoon.com
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate the start of the year together. We are looking forward to seeing you all as we begin another year of learning!
