This is a big and exciting week for Samuel Shaw students and families! We have said farewell to Acting principal, Nancy McCutcheon last week, and are so excited to welcome Terry Baustad back on Monday!

Students will be choosing their complementary courses this week during school. Mr. Mackenzie and Mrs. Wolframe will help kids with their choices. The complementary team and students created a video that will be shared with the grades 6-8 students outlining what can be expected in each of these classes. We are hoping to have this video available to you, our Sam Shaw families, once we confirm some FOIP policies.

Thursday, June 6 is our Celebration of Learning, and Open House!

We are really looking forward to seeing you, and new-to-Shaw families to our Open House/Celebration of Learning on June 6! Similar to last week, this is a reminder of the event.
